RE: Gunner500 Broken Antler Buck
Thanks Rowdy Rick, I did manage another African Safari this year, was able to kill a giant Cape Eland bull and an old blue black Sable bull, the Eland was bedded and shot in the right ham from 60 yards with my 50-90 Sharps and a 750 gr grease groove bullet I cast myself.
The skinners found the bullet in the front of the bulls left shoulder, that's near nine feet of penetration, the bull dropped his head at the shot and never thought about getting up, the bullet still weighs 743 grains.
The broadside shot on the Sable bull at 97 yards blew through him like he was made of cardboard.
Another fine year of hunting with Sharps rifles, 40, 45 or 50 Cal, they simply get the job done.
