Heres a frinstance for you Bob. My pard on a buffalo hunt in Zim shot his bull in the heart with a .375 300 Gr. Swift A frame.

Switched off guns, as his tracker was carrying his .458 Lott....



Shot it in the heart with that too.



Buff still on its feet, so the PH shoots it ( in the heart) with his .500 double.



Needless to say it all worked, but the boys took the heart and hung it up in camp, the three holes looking for all the world like a bowling ball. grin




My buffalo caught a .375 Swift A frame in the heart, ran 100 yards, then caught three quick 300 grain Monolithic Solids, and one solid from my PHs .460 Wby....all aimed for bone, but the bastid kept bouncing back up like a rubber ball....



After this rapid fire solid action, he was convinced, and caught one more in the spine from 6 ft. as 'insurance'...



Good times! laugh
