Marius, can you comment on any recovered bullets? Have the petals separated? If they haven't, have they opened uniformly? How about distances? When did you get pass through? I'm trying to learn more. When I shot my elk, I had to be very careful because I was stalking a herd. I had to pass up closer shots (150 or so) because I was afraid of a double. That is one of the reasons I went for the shoulder on the spike. It looked clear behind him, but I didn't want to take a chance.

It sounds to me that this combo would be a one gun setup for all but elephant, which I would never do anyway. I'm headed to Botswana in July and/or Aug for work. I'm thinking about trying to get into a short hunt someplace for some plains game. Nothing special, just a few animals for the experience.
