Still sorting photos but this guy went down on day one via my M70 416 Remington with the 350 gr TSX over 84 grs of RE-15. Shot was at 110 yards and went in at the lower rear crease of his shoulder. At the shot he grunted, started swaying and took a step still wobbly. I waited for a clear second shot as the other buffalo (a herd of ~200) moved on and put one in through the lungs. Down he went. We found the first bullet just exiting the off shoulder. All petals were gone. Also took a nice kudu, waterbuck, bushbuck and serval. I blew a shot on a sable. All in all a great 12 days.  |

You harvested some great animals. Africa is on my bucket list. You have followed in the steps of great hunters there. Who wouldn’t want to see a Cape Buffalo over a set of express sights on a classic Africa rifle?
