@Paw Print , Pieter what process do you use to remove the tusks?
 
Hornady DGS retained almost all it's weight and is just slightly distorted. It went into the bulls right side of the head three inches in front of the ear hole. It was recovered just under the skin on the left side.

Now that's what I call a good bullet!!!!
 
Well done Charlie....

Bluey it is in remarkable shape. The skull of an elephant is a huge thing! While the inner part of the skull is sort of honey combed bone the exterior on both side is quite thick! For this bullet to almost pass through and end up just under the skin on the far side and look almost unused is amazing to me!
I now have three of the big five taken with Hornady DGS and DGX bullets!
I'm impressed with this and it will go on the wall in a shadow box!
 
state of the art!!!!!i have my hornady bullet also.beautiful.
 
Congrats. All the preparation and excitement boiled down to one shot. Well done! It is so nice to make the perfect shot and take your animal cleanly. Looks like a very nice elephant. Bruce
 
Thank you to everyone for all the nice comments! I will post more details and pictures in the coming days.
 
Well done to all involved!

Where did you hunt your elephant Charlie? Was this in one of the PNR's?

Regards,

Chris

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
