I have a new 470 NE and am going on my first Cape Buffalo hunt in Tanzenia on August 5, 2006. I have been told by someone that the Woodleigh soft is "too soft" for cape buffalo. He shot one and it hit the shoulder and did not penetrate, I don't remember but I think it hit the joint. He thinks I should use the Swift first shot then Woodleigh solid second barrel. I have never been to Africa before.

I was going to bring my 375 HH and load the 300 gr. Swift which was recommender by the Ph.

Comments please by someone who has "been there & done that"
