I'm just back from Botswana. One Cape Buffalo with one Hornady 500-gr. RN in .458 Lott. He went 15 yards. Bullet entered left shoulder, punched through ribs, where it expanded to about 82 cal, cleaned off the top of the heart and lodged in the right shoulder. Distance was 65 yards. As he ran, I put another one in his neck. It went through his brain and exited his skull, missing the horns by 2 inches. Why the second shot? Well, I'm 63, overweight and have had three knee operations. I'd already covered 4 miles that day, and didn't want to chase Mr. Buf another 10 feet. The first shot was a killer; the second just saved me the walking.

I hunted with Johan Calitz Safaris in the Mababe Area at Joveregh Camp. The concession is NG 41 and encompasses 3,000 sq. Km. (not a misprint - all but damnit of 2,000 sq. miles). Cost was in the $19,000 range for 10 days.
