When hunting Dangerous Game, it is wise to use a repeater. If the shot is not perfect, the animal may take the fight to you. Cape buffalos often don't go down on the first well placed shot, especially if they are agitated or wounded. I had one bull soak up 8 rounds of 500 grain bullets from my 458 Lott before it gave up. The first two shots were heart/lung hits! My insurance was the cartridge belt around my waist and plenty of practice reloading without looking at the rifle.
I have never been a gambler and never will be. Just my thoughts on the subject. -- T.S.
