458 Socom and giraffe
My daughter hunted this giraffe bull on foot and made an excellent heart shot using my 458 Socom.The rifle is modded to single shot for hunting purposes.
The bull did not manage 50m before going down.She also shot another one after this using another rifle.Bullets were made by Johann Kriek in Bloem and weigh 300gr.

Re: 458 Socom and giraffe
Well done to your daughter. In areas where they are hunted a lot, giraffe are one of the most challenging animals to hunt. Interesting rifle and cartridge, what velocity do you get?
