Re: Buffalo hunt gone wrong
I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I have had a couple of chance, close quarters meetings with buffalo while hunting other game in thick riverine bush, so I am trying to learn here. If the only way to stop a close range charge is a shot to the brain or into the spine, why is a large heavy rifle better than a smaller caliber, lighter rifle that is easier to handle and that you shoot often (as when backing clients on wounded antelope and pigs), under stress and at moving animals? Would a 9.3mm or .375 with a good monolithic bullet not kill just as dead on brain and spine shots as a .458?
