Handgun Buffalo

[Doug Hamilton]

Never made the statement that cattle are cape buffalo! Never said that I shot cattle in a chute, nor have I! Your assumptions are wrong!

I would hardly call rogue feral cattle domesticated! Get your facts straight!

Get my facts straight? The only facts we had to work with were what you wrote. The rest we would have to guess at.

Now if you want to say that you've taken a 2500 lb. wild, rogue bull with a .357, I would have to say that you were braver than I am. If I believed you.

All you have to do is ask. No need for guessing.

The biggest I have taken with a 357 magnum was probably around 1600-1700 lb cow. I used the following.

S&W model 27 6-1/2” barrel
158 grain Hornady XTP
H110
CCI magnum primer
Starline brass
Very very hot compressed load

This was an unexpected and unplanned kill that just happened. Not the greatest shot placement and a quick reload of two shots, for a total of eight. Not ideal, but it worked.
