I just talked to Gunner. The shot on the Cape Buffalo was about 45 yards in some thick jess with the animal quartering hard toward him. Gunner hit the bull at the juncture of the neck and shoulder, and the bull whirled and ran about 60 yards where it stopped. The second shot through the shoulders put the bull down for good. This is an old, hard bossed, big bodied dagga boy.
The zebra was another quartering shot, and the bullet struck the front shoulder. The zebra ran about 100 yards and collapsed. The kudu was a monster, going 56 1/2 inches.
A Shiloh Sharps No. 3 Sporter in 45-70 shooting a 525 grain paper patched bullet over 75 grains of KIK 3f black powder did the trick. Gunner said that the only thing he would change is the 30-1 alloy, which he felt was too soft.
A two shot kill on a Cape buffalo and a 56 1/2 inch kudu is about as good as it gets on one trip. Welcome home, you did it in style!
