I thought I'd add that he took these pictures in the Letaba Elephant Museum, in Kruger National Park. The museum is located inside Letaba Camp, and is very well worth visiting if you're ever there.
 
Very interesting, thanks for sharing !
 
Thanks for sharing if I am never able to make it there then I've seen this much thanks to you, great pics.
 
It is a great place, filled with most interesting Elephant facts.
Thanks for sharing!

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
