[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 658291, member: 2736"] Is it a Water Buffalo or a Cape Buffalo? The water buffalo is smaller and easier to kill than the Cape Buffalo. a .300 or better will kill the water buffalo but for the cape buffalo you will need at least a 375 for quick kills. of course a bigger rifle will allways be a safe bet. Most water buffalo will weigh up to 1500 pounds . the big Cape Buffalo will exceed 2000 pounds. Call the ranch and find out the size of the biggest Buffalo they have and base your rifle needs on that. Look for at least 2500 ft/lbs of energy at 100 yards and use well comstructed bullets like the Swift A Frame. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
