Sideshow, My 50-110 with specialty like your Hydro, knocks cape buffalo down MUCH quicker that with a .375 HH with same quality of bullets. And my 50-110 is at least 20% slower that your Jeffery. You will be very happy!

My pal bought a new Ruger Hawkeye about a year ago, terrible piece of crap. That is just a corporate choice. Same with Hornady. It's all about the marketing with some of these big manufacturers not about the quality of the product. The consumer lets them get away with it and it is loved it in...

Don't believe everything you read or hear. Do the research. When a cartridge/bullet become real popular it tends to become over rated and vice versa. The 450/400 has become real sweet heart, and is now viewed as a great cape buffalo cartridge, thanks largely to Hornady and Ruger. The 45-70 has...

As you probably remember , I am a Peregrine BushMaster bullet fan. They will take all the velocity you can give them and they will give you back constant controlled expansion. Velocity is your friend. It gets that "Plunger" in the nose of the bullet to decisively and reliably initiate the...

Yes, Thanks deewayne2003, I connected with Big Country and am not interested.

Hello All, Can any one offer info on finding an "affordable" buffalo cow cull hunt NT Australia for September 2027? You can PM me if you like. Thanks, Brian

This is a great report. Thank you for the stories and the photos. I'm planning a buffalo hunt in NT and I found this report to be very helpful well as exciting. Brian

I look forward to hearing about your hunt.

Hi Rafiki, Good eye. I wanted to do that but I chickened out at the last moment. She was quartering towards me a bit so I went for double lung shot and then shot a little higher than I intended. She still only went about 18 yards. Love those big .585 bullets!. The way she is laying make the...

BenKK, I enjoy your post. "...misspent youth...".That's a good one. I would to go to Australia NT to see the country is go on a magement. water buffalo cow, cull hunt. Would you have any suggestions of who I could ask to find an outfitter offering cull hunts. I am thinking about 10 cows for...

I keep a few cartridges in loops on the butt stock. You can barely see the in this photo, apologies. This old method really works for me. Most of my practice in loading a break open gun comes from years of shooting Sporting Clays. This is a .577 NE made from a converted H&R 10 Gauge. "Nothins'...

Thanks again, Evan. I wrote him. He sure has nice website. Brian

Thanks, Evan. I will check him out

This an exciting discussion As some of you know I have hunted quite a few cape buffalo. Now I am looking for a water buffalo cull hunt in Northern Territory, Australia for September 2027 but so far I am not getting very far. Does anyone here have suggestion of an outfitter that I should talk...

Huvius, I hear more of it too. My personal speculation is that the huge marketing advertising of bullets like Hornady is partly to blame. Did you know that most dangerous game hunters believe that Hornady and similar DG bullets are good enough for safe decisive kills on cape buffalo...
