But even "real" solids, such as many of today's monolithics, don't kill buffalo nearly as well as today's many excellent expanding bullets.
If a guy was only going to learn one thing about buffalo bullets; that would be the one thing. Solids are pathetic.
Yup. Many PHs want your follow up shot to inflict the most amount of damage and don't necessarily want their clients shoot solids on buff.
The irony of course is that some PHs prefer solids for giraffe as they (and not buff) are considered "thick skinned" game.
But yes, get you some Federal A Frame ammo or load some A Frames up and you'd be more than prepared for a buff. And the loads need not be screaming even with an 18" barrel.
Good luck!
ps Going to Zim in October for PG & buff with a bow.
