"People have killed ele and buff with spears. That just means that they have big gonads or small brains."

African Phs have been known to have some large gonads and at least the ones I've had the pleasure of knowing are not afflicted with small brains. So it begs the question, how many African PHs carry 45/70s? I think the second part of 500Grains' statement And Allen Day's post adequately cover the subject. Why ON EARTH would anybody want to hunt DG with that pumkin roller? answer:
1. A stunt to sell dopes some snake oil magical bullets (And backing them up with rigged tests showing a 45/70 outpenetrates a 458 Lott, etc)
2. small ( and gullible) brains.

Sorry charlie, no dice.
