Re: Could the Pedersoli .72 double be successful on buffalo?

G'day!
I would like to find a black powder ball-thrower that could take a water buffalo. How do you think the Pedersoli Kodiak Express .72 double would handle the job? I have no idea about muzzleloading or black powder, but am wanting to learn and experience this!
Thanks,
Ben
Should work fine with 5 to 7 drams of FFG BP and a hardened lead ball. Its not excessive but should be adequate. Its certainly no popgun.
John Taylor killed Afican Elephant with a 10 bore (about .735-.740 ball) smoothie at one time. Its in his book "Pondoro".
