I would have thought before page two, someone would have stated the oblivious........Nosler Partition. I've heard it stated many times here "never a wrong choice".

chlinstructor,
PITY that you seem to be incapable of common decency, minimal politeness to other members and/or even good judgement. - What you certainly are very adept at is being HATEFUL, VULGAR-talking, MEAN-spirited & terminally IGNORANT..
You share those "qualities" with most outright BIGOTS.
yours, tex You're lookin' for love in all the wrong places...

mudhen,
While I'm NOT "looking for love", I believe that HATEFUL, VULGAR, BELITTLING & OBSCENE comments by ANY member & directed toward anybody else lowers us all. - I like to think that we are, as a group, better people than that.
just my opinion, tex

mudhen,
Even IF you could reliably kill a Cape Buffalo with a 5.56NATO/,223REM (which I seriously doubt), NO African nation would allow you to try such a "carnival stunt". = Other than the 9.3x62mm (which most African nations allow "by exception"), the minimum bore-size for Dangerous Game is .375.
Fwiw, when one of my "hunting buddies" (She is the President of our TX XB hunting club, btw & has taken a house-full of trophies of all sorts with her XB.) decided to take a Cape Buffalo with a 200# pull XB, the Game Department of that nation REQUIRED her to be "backed up" by a PAIR of Game Wardens, who were armed with .470 caliber double rifles.
(The 2 Wardens were STUNNED when the Cape Buff was hit, bellowed once, took 2 steps & went down, as if pole-axed between the eyes. - The Buff did NOT require a "follow-up" shot & when "dressed out" it was found to have had his aorta completely severed just above the heart.)

yours, tex No problem, I know Texas is a big place.

If a .223 is adequate, how about a .22 Hornet?

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Your doubt has been proven wrong more than a few times. Legal issues related to what one uses is irrelevant to whether or not it will kill something.

Do you actually hit them Hares or they die from the muzzle blast? You’re the only stud that’s killing tiny furs with a bazooka. Always cracks me up! 😎
