"A few years back some gunwriter wrote about how a Marlin .45-70 drove a hardcast (Garrett Hammerhead, I think) completely through TWO cape buffalo."
That writer was Brian Pearce. I've talked with him several times at the Boise Gun Shows and he told me that he could not see the second Cape Buffalo behind the first. That's how the bullet went through the first and also killed the second.
