Good Day,
Some good friends and I just returned from an excellent hunt for water buffalo and other asorted critters in Australia. I had the chance to try out my T. Bland single shot on several animals and was very pleased with the results.

The loads used were 1500 grain hardened roundballs over either 85 or 100 grains of Blue Dot, for 1335 or just over 1500 fps respectively. Several either exited or were under the skin on shoulder shots and two were in the hind quarters after traversing full length. Most shots were within 30 yards with the longest being about 100.

I had a great time, met some great friends, and can't begin to say enough about the hospitality of our hosts and the other Australian hunters I had the pleasure to meet. I'll definitely be back. Thanks!
