The animal was a cape buffalo.

I remember it clearly, however it did seem in slow motion!

It started at about 20 yds,we heard him snort, and start, but we couldn't see him till he broke cover at about 15 yds.

Four shots were fired on him, two from the PH's 375 H&H bolt rifle, and two from my 500/450Ne double rifle. First two shots in the center of the chest, one from each rifle, then two into the head one from each rifle, putting him down with a brain drain. Momentum carried him to a stop at our feet.
