Thanks for the video link. Didn't get it to work at first but all of a sudden it did.

Pretty spectacular brain shot. No doubt about it when they work, they do!

A great video and a dead-solid-perfect shot. What was most interesting (and very correct) was that the shooter didn't assume anything, but was very well prepared for any "surprise" even after the elephant looked pretty well toast. All of us who hunt DG could learn from his composure and "follow-up" seriousness.

Geez, anyone else here get nervous when the client lowered the rifle slightly to change his grip? Also a good idea to reload the first barrel before rushing towards downed game.

Still, bloody good clip! Nice and close, too! We don't see the frontal brain-shot on video very often.
