Re: Lion shot with Paradox


This thread was placed in "Paradox and Bore Guns" and titled "A Lion Shot with Paradox". There was a brief description of the events by the shooter placed on Youtube much of the dialogue devoted to the firearm and ammo used. Nothing was said about wild or canned hunt or derring-do or if this shooter was a novice lion hunter or someone who may have had several decades experience hunting dangerous game.
Bob,
I found interesting that if in fact the gun was chambered for the 730gr 1500fps Westley cartridge the round used on the lion was heavier and slower than a standard SME cartridge and wondered if the slightly lighter but faster cartridge been used it might have prevented the lion from attacking after being shot. I also wondered how many years it had been since a big cat was shot with a 12 bore paradox.

I only pointed out the date of the video to show if someone could be wrong by several years on a material fact what else might be conjecture and not fact.
