Thanks Svile. I am afraid I don't know better - this rifle is the only thing I drag around last 3 years, so (for me that is) taking it after Buffalo is just the same as taking it after any other game. I guess it is all about confidence.

Yes, I guess the following would be shorter if bigger caliber would be used, however the hit should be on the same spot. It was a difficult shot - quartering and at bit shy of 100m, after 5 hours tracking at almost 40 deg. C, with a big help of last year reminders I did push that shot a bit...but under all the circumstances, it was one of my best shots taken with that rig ever:

Here is initial hit - entry, bit uphill, exit was right between the front legs, so got the angle perfect, just too low - if that hit would be 2-3" higher that Buff would be dead inside 100m. So (if anything) I only see 2 things (speaking for myself) - instead of counting on bigger caliber I would either:

1. Mount a scope
2. Get closer
3. get a better rest than PH's shoulder - but that wasn't possible.

But after dust has settled, I wouldn't change a single thing.
