The question was about Buff, not Ele or others

Again respectfully we were not discussing Ele. I dident and don't advocate SP's for Ele. But then again I wouldent shoot one with a 375 either.
Most people shoot a BA rifle. My reasoning is this. They have 2 or three softs above a solid. If they have failed to stop a buff with those softs, given usually that at least the first shot is undisterbed and often off sticks, then by the time they work their way to the soild then they are fucked anyway and the fate of the hunt will rest with the PH.
If you carry a double then yes, soft/solid and use the appropriate barrel for the angle and atonomical area. Those on this forum that have shot large game with me know, that I will keep shooting until it goes down, even if, as 2 days ago, it was dead on its feet.


Really.

My point is that a lot of people are hunting Buffalo in Elephant country and being attacked is a possibility that I feel one should be prepared for.
