Buff are tough

CMS has a video that I remember seeing, where someone shot a cow elephant with a big double. I think it was a 470NE but not 100% sure about that part. The part I do remember quite clearly is that when they hit that cow on the shoulder, you could see it literally knock her off her feet. The impression I had watching the video was that she took a punch from a giant invisible fist and just got knocked over. I've heard about Knock-out Values all my life, but seeing that video I finally got it.

I agree with all who have pointed out the importance of bullet placement. But I do not think a 375 would have knocked that cow ass over teakettle like the big double did.

That's a point for the big bores, IF you can place the bullet properly.
 
Kevin you are wise my friend. Shoot the heaviest caliber you know you can place that first shot in the kill zone period

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
