Wilbur,
I would have to challange the statement that a soft is 100 percent sure on a brain shot with Buffalo..

I have seen on several occassions wherein a soft failed on Buffalo with brain shots for a varity of reasons, but mostly bullet destruction was the culprit, but also by changing course, even richocheting off the skull due to the angle and by keyholing, thus stopping.....solids never do this on Buffalo, sometimes on elephant they will if they are round nose solids..I don't think you can stop or deflect a flat nose solid..

I have seen the same on spine shots,where they distuct the very best of super premiums, however the spine shots always put them down long enough to get in a couple of more....

All of these instances are rare and are the exception rather than the rule, but happened never the less..

That has been my reasoning for useing solids in my double. In the past I always used a soft and a solid, I usually had a soft up in my bolt gun and solids underneath, but I never had the right one in it when I needed it..A big buff facing North and me trying to quitly get a soft out and a solid in, that just never seemed to work for me, so to hell with it I use FN solids and take whatever shot I get....it works for me.

But, I prefer to hunt the dagga boys as opposed to herd hunting, when herd hunting a soft is recommended or an amount of patience to get a clear shot..
