Would a PH save your life? Mine did. Even though the buff was perfectly hit with a serious cartridge, a .404 at 2400 fps, it still charged. Even with a second hit, it got within 25 yards (2 seconds!) before Marius spined it. We call it the Zombie Buffalo. Was I wishing for my .450 Rigby? Not until it was over, when I had time to be scared!

I like what Terry Wieland said. "No matter what game your are pursuing, when in elephant country, carry an elephant rifle." To that I would add buffalo country, lion country, grizzly country, etc. Now about a .375 for your light rifle . . .
