reflex:
How do you distinguish between the 'poser' who fires one shot and watches the animal run away, to be found dead some distance away and some time later for a "one shot kill"; and the experienced DR hunter who virtually double-taps for openers, then fires 2 more if the animal is still on its feet 3 seconds later.

I mostly use a .400 3-inch double ejector and would only resist firing a quick second shot if the first one caught the spine and dropped the animal on the spot.

What do you fellers think? Experience in the field with the 450/400?


With Woodleigh softs or similar premium SP projectiles, a 400gr .400 will break both shoulders of a big buffalo bull but not exit, or break one shoulder and pull up under the hide. Complete pass-throughs almost every time with side-on lung-shots behind the shoulder. Good enough for buff? Hell yes!
