But is your 'Fat Lady', your .577, gun enough?

I think the smallest calibre I have heard you using on buffalo is the 6.5x54 M-S (??), and that you due to experiences now prefer something much more adequate.

Can you share any light on those experiences?

Your comments might get to the point of the topic. The fact that you may have been hunting alone, perhaps with a light calibre, did that lead to your decision to preferably carry a double in a .400, .470 or .577 in the future? ie with no back up, you are it.

Thanks.

I accept the point of your post entirely. Unfortunately many of us in less pristine locations than the Top End must use a "introduction agency" like an outfitter to get access to hunting country. And in virtually all of Africa it is a legal requirement except for two or three countries that allow self guided permits / auctions etc.
