There has been much discussion regarding the best caliber for cape buffalo, different opinions, varied rational, but ultimately - it's the results which prove validity.
To that end I submit the following:
This cape buffalo was shot by a poacher using a musket, like the two pictured above, with a piece of 1/2" rebar as the projectile. That would make it a .500, solid.
The poacher was apprehended, the musket and buffalo confiscated.
I asked the local Game Scout if these were available in a double, I may have overpaid for my Heym.
