Hey Ben,

On elephant, you take your 400 and I'll tag along with my 450 in the un-likely event of you needing assistance That would be fun!!!!!!

When I said 1 shot kills, that didn't include "paying the insurance. In other words, when the critter was down, you shot him again. The "dead ones" can kill you! . The only one that took multiple shots, was the hippo. My son hit him about 2" low. He opened his big ole mouth, swapped ends, and headed down the shore line. Scott, our ph, said that if Dan[my son] didn't drop him on the 1st shot, he'd have to back him, because it was close to the water, close to the village, and close to dark. Dan said ok. Dan fired, then Scott fired, then Dan fired again. Scott had a misfire, on his 2 nd shot. The bull stopped at the water's edge. Dan planted a solid in the ole boy's head, and he went down in a shower of water. It was a sight to behold!


When I shot the tuskless ele, the 1st shot had her done in. Scott didn't back me up, because he knew I'd shot her right. Unfortunately, my son didn't hear the conversation, and ducked outside the ph, and put a shot into her. It was all good. I had told him, that if I hit the ele, and she's still moving, back me up. She crashed, as he was shooting! I gave him a big hug. That's my boy!

The ruger no. 1s did a great job, as did the hornady DGS and DGX. Ya couldn't ask for more....
