    American Hunter article

    What do you folks think of the article in American Hunter on hunting cape buffalo with a 45-70 Marlin?

    I don't think that I would have told that story to the world about my poor shooting.
    If he had been shooting a larger caliber, would his *** end shots have penetrated far enough?
    Sounds like it had enough penetration for side shots.

    Is there a link to the article? There’s an article about a successful hunt with a .45-70 and I think it was Cape buffalo or a wilderbeast. He was using home cast boolits and I’m sure not loaded to government pressures.
