Hey, Ganyana says that all one ever needs is a 9.3x62.

I ain't buying it.

"...A 500-grain solid bullet from my .458 rifle slammed through the brute's brain,..."

I wonder if the buffalo would have behaved any different if any other bullet or caliber was used!!

Great Atricle he made one very good observation.

Two recent developments in big-bore cartridges are worth noting. In the USA, Ruger and Hornady both offer factory products in rifles and cartridges for the .458 Lott.

I find many of the threads here to be far more interesting than any magazine article.

The magazine stories tend to deal in generalizations and regurgitate the same tired old homilies as this one does.

The recent AR thread about leopards guns, for example, delved into all kinds of questions the hunting magazine never touch.

I would not be surpised to see magazines as we know them get eaten up by the internet and then disappear.

Saeed,

Anyone that has only killed a hundred or so buffalo is not qualified to comment on using enough gun!
