My wife Rebecca also came along for the exercise, and to help pack out any meat we might acquire.

Marrakai, you are indeed a lucky man!

I only recovered one projectile from the .500, the one which quartered forward and stopped at the front of the off-side shoulder. It hadn't expanded much, but then penetration is the more important criteria on large game and this one had made almost a metre. One of the other bullets had traversed the chest cavity, centering a far rib but bouncing back inside despite breaking the bone. Couldn't find it though!

So the old BPE level powered doubles still can kill. Cool.



A very nice trophy indeed. Nice wide spread to. Congratulations to Ralph.

Can I accompany you next time you go buff cow meat hunting?

How many kilograms of meat do you harvest? Enough for a freezer?

Thanks for the interesting story and photos.
