Re: DGX Performance on my Buff

I have had good luck with both the DGS and DGX. I used the DGX on buffalo and recovered the bullet in the off shoulder, just under the skin. The shot was about 25-30 yards with a .416 Rigby. I did shoot the buff a second time at 50 yards as it was going down and it was a complete pass through. Both shots were through the shoulder.

I used the DGS for elephant. The first shot was side brain at 15 yards and that bullet was recovered from under the skin on the off side. I actually slipped the bullet in the empty case and you couldn't tell it had been fired. My second shot was through the bottom of his chest when he rolled over from the first shot. This shot entered the bottom of his heart and came out the top but after that I couldn't tell were it went. I should mention that this was a .470 NE and this load shot extremely well in my Krieghoff double.

I realize that a single instance of great performance may not be a reliable indicator of the product as a whole, but on the other hand, neither does a single instance of seperation. I will use both the DGS and the DGX in the future.
