the FA I used on that Cape Buffalo was one we did some

work on it for Michael Mendes. When Michael offered me the 454 for the Cape Buffalo I had my second thoughts about it. It took a 500 grain Hornady soft point doing almost 2000 fps to put my last one down and looking at the 454 round in my hand made me wonder if I could do this. Then as always John Taffin's BULLET PLACEMENT convinced me we could do it.

We put a new longer barrel on Michael's 454, along with a muzzle brake. It had an action job and had no front sight. Between the adrenalin rush and the muzzle brake I never felt the recoil at all. And shot 2 rounds within maybe 5 or 6 seconds. I can do the gun work for you and get the gun much more manageable but you are going to have to furnish the adrenalin and the bullet placement.
