Back from my water buffalo hunt

Well, the 458 win mag had a successful maiden voyage. 40yd quartering on shot. Broke the front shoulder, did the three legged hop, then fell over. Heart shot. 350gr Barnes triple shock at 1900fps worked. Recovered bullet weighed 245grs.

I had no idea there were Water Buffalo in Kansas! Congrats again!

Impressive. Did you hunt with KTO? That bullet looks like the Barnes from my last Elk, shot at 400 yards in 7 Rem Mag.
