.375 H&H, 50 yards, facing frontal shot, while the rifle was in recoil I watched through the scope as the Buffalo rolled 180 degrees clockwise and went feet up.   My calculator says that's exactly 75% weight retention   It seems to work OK (Other than the fact that I'm not nearly as photogenic as your average Buffalo).

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | |||

I had the same experience with a 400 gr TBBC out of my 416.

Les, Well done and great post. Information fresh from the front is so much richer than opinions of those who would if they could. Dave  Member NRA, SCI- Life #358 28+ years now! DRSS, double owner-shooter since 1983, O/U .30-06 Browning Continental set. | |||

Nice trophy They worked for me also, not so quickly, but my first shot took out the lungs and hit him hard enough that I was able to put a few more into him and put him down before he could run off. TerryR | |||
