British Boltguns, Bulls and Buffalo
19/11/12 01:02 PM

Sunday morning again saw Pato and me out for a hunt. Pato had some 400gr hydros for his 404 Jeffrey to try out on larger game and I finally got to shoot my .275 Rigby.

Bull buffalo rocked by an angling chest shot. Hydro passed through the chest and stomach, exited then re-entered to lodge in the rear thigh. We couldn't recover the projectile. This was the only Hydro that remained in the carcass. All other shots entered and exited even from frontal shots. Hitting bone didn't seem to make much differece.

Bull went down after a second shoulder shot that probably wasn't required. Then a brain shot to be sure.

Bower bird nest with his stash of shiny objects he uses to attract a mate. Pato uses his skull in much the same way. We hope to find some of the hydro projectiles in this collection next time around.
