I just returned from a hunt in the KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. Brought along my Winchester M70 in 358 Norma and my Marlin 1895M in 450 Marlin.
The Marlin was loaded with the Hornady factory 350gr ammo.
This Impala was shot at 50yds and went down like it was struck by lighting, wich is kind of funny because it was raining and lightning all around us when I shot him. The first shot hit a 1 inch branc and cut a nice 45cal hole through it, but missed the Impala. Fortunately he didn't run far and I dropped him on the second shot.
My Zebra was shot at 50 yds again and went down on the first shot. We had been tracking the herd for a while, but they would never let us get close. As we sat and talked about the best way to approach them on top of a small ridge, they decided to come back towards us. I set up and found a gap in the vegetation and waited until I could get a clear shot. There was nly a 3 foot window where I had a clear shot and unfortunalty for this Zebra he decided to stop and let me take the shot.
