[QUOTE="Code4, post: 609260, member: 26988"] A few posts already have covered a number of important points. Yes you can kill them at 500 yards with a .30-06. A head shot with a solid would do it. Why would you ? It would be like shooting a cow at 500 yards and a cow costs a lot less. They are marketed as DG and I doubt you'd find an operator happy to let you take a long range shot. A mature animal on average is larger than Cape Buff and have (I believe) overlaping ribs. There is no legal minimum for hunting Water Buffalo in Australia. Most outfitters state the .375H&H as a minimum and recommend .458 or larger. Indigenous meat hunters are often recorded as useing nothing more than a .22 magnum in the ear, to kill them. [/QUOTE]
