I'm a born and raised Tennessean. Chattanooga area. Husband and father of two amazing sons. I love to hunt almost anything and am planning my first African adventure with a buffalo priority and Eland/Kudu secondary. I'm a big bore lever gun weirdo and wish they were practical (legal) for Cape Buffalo. I have read every word of every thread here regarding lever guns in Africa. lol. I do own a new Chapuis Elan Classic in 470 NE and I am learning to shoot it effectively. (Sometimes the hard way.) I will be attending SCI in Nashville this week. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this community and learn from those who have been there.
ETSONAUT - when I hunted Buffalo in TZ - lever .45-70 was legal for Buff and as per my PH “the .45-70 is a fine round for buffalo, seen many taken with it..). I choose to buy & use .470NE but could’ve saved $14,000 and just used my Marlin 1895 .45-70 and loaded up Buffalo Bore 405 grain hardcast. That was years ago and maybe laws have changed, vary by Country, or PH’s have their own preference.
I would always defer to the advice of your PH.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
