[QUOTE="AggieHunter, post: 1752419, member: 83929"] Sir, I have been to Africa 4 times since 2006. I have shot over 250 animals w/2 different rifles. 280 Ack Imp w/a 140 grain Accubond bullet & a 300 Weatherby Improved w/a 165 Sierra flatbase bullet. The largest was a Sable and the most important was a leopard. I have never had to shoot twice at an animal. The shortest shot was at the sable at 75 yards. The bullet went into the left shoulder and came to rest in the right shoulder. Most PH's like the concept of "slow and go". They like Accubond and Barnes, big cavities and lots of internal damage. I shot a Gemsbok with my 280 AI and 140 Grain Accubond at 250 yards uphill. he walked 3 steps and fell. see the bullet that we recovered from the Oryx. Also see the bullet we recovered from the Leopard. Shot placement [/QUOTE]
