I'll pass.

375Fox, Do you have any buffalo hunting experience?

I appreciate Crishuntbrazil's posts. I learned a lot and had some fun. CrisHuntbrazil, Thanks for your input, my friend. I sense that you mean well. Brian

Mtn_Infantry. You are right! Yes, the 375 is much more common for hunting cape buffalo so the % of buffalo wounded would be much higher. My post was nonsense, and I thank you for being so civil about it, I deserved worse. But I have to fess up, My whole post was BS! I posted it just to...

375 Fox, You are right, I was withholding info, in fact my post ##188 was a lie. You will see on posts to and from HankBuck # 190, # 192, #193, that he busted me for it and we had some fun over it. Please read the posts to get a chuckle. I have only killed 19 buffalo with several different...

Thanks HB, That is a relief! You have set the bar for lying pretty high for me. I may not be able to rise to the challenge, I think that I will have to just concede. Brian

I didn't know that, I'll make a note.

HankBuck, I didn't think that I would get busted on the very first post! Was it really that obvious? Brian

Kfreeze, Right on! This is important stuff that many people don't know about. I would like to add a comment in support of your perfect explanation. Your "understanding" is exactly right. Bullets get their stability for the gyroscopic effect on a spinning object. Most people know that this...

Hello tydaws, I will happily respond to your question, knowing that my strong views on bullet terminal performance has tended to annoy some people in the past. So, I say ahead of time that I make the following comment with the best possible intensions. I assume that, like me, you want a...

Accubond bullets are very popular, but I would not use them for any kind of hunting except maybe varmints.

They are a very popular bullet, however they are not a bullet that I would use for anything.

May I suggest that you google the Terminal Performance of Accubond bullets. ( Especially retained weight.) Also check out how the Barnes performs when it hits an animal at sharp angle.

Swift A Frames in general are awesome. I hope someone who knows about the Game Kings will speak up. I have been completely focused on .500 cal. and bigger for buffalo in the last 7 years. Michael458 may soon chip in about CEB Safari Raptors in 7mm. He is brilliant on Terminal Ballistics.
