Hi bullfighter,
What can ice the cake is breaking one way or another some bone when shooting at the chest. That'll cripple the buffalo and can help if the critter is bad-tempered (not yellow-bellied).
Of course the target is lungs + heart, but if the angle permits it, it helps to break either the humerus or the shoulder blade.
good luck
Surprisingly, Larcher,
Kevin Robertson ('The Perfect Shot' author) says that breaking one shoulder of a buffalo (or other dangerous animal) won't stop it charging and killing you. If you can break both shoulders, it might have a problem.

My PH on my recent Cape Buffalo hunt advised me before tha hunt that a Cape Buffalo doesn't bluff a charge. When it comes for you, it's deadly intent is to kill you, and the only way to stop the charge is to either brain it, or spine it. Very, very rarely, will a charge be turned.
