For the Buffalo I used Norma 500 SN. ( all I could get hold of but did the job real well) one shot dropped him one in the heart point blank to finish the old chap.

I stepped it out after the kill and it was a crazy 22 meters. He was feeding away from me and I was slightly elevated when we checked the shot shocked the spinal chord and went down into lung and caught a piece of heart. Still took one to finish him but he wasn't a danger.
 
Congrats, nice buff, and yes, we are always interested in the story behind the shooting !
 
Nice Buff! I hope I get one as nice next year. Your kudu is also a great trophy but did notice the rifle you are holding has a funny bolt thingy and is missing a barrel:eek: but then again; my kudu rifle seemed to be missing a second barrel too. Look like you had a great safari.
