Claydog,

Wow, I have never hunted with a pumpkin head, particularly one holding a beautiful rifle.

Well what is teh rest of the story. How much penetration was there and was the rifle effective?

I read the story of Don Kettelkamp cape buffalo hunt using his .500 Black Powder Express Double Rifle, I think in an early Double Gun Journal. From what I remember, Don thought his 500EX was a little light for buffalo. Perhaps others have read Don's writeup and can discuss.
