I'd very much like to hear the story that accompanies this photo
Seems a shame to shoot the old warrior
Also see in the album the picture Elephant Tusk to the Face. Ouch.In your album is a man in a hospital ward with his thigh literally blown apart! 400grain bullet also? I served in Liberia and Sierra Leone after the civil war but I tell you what, your photos are hard core! Respect.

Paul if you click on the main pic it takes you to photo bucket then you click on other albums I only found out you could do it today
Was that 400 grainer a Woodleigh Hydrostat?
If so, can you give me some impressions of that bullet in any calibre that you use please.
I use these in .30 cal on Sambar deer.
Grant.
They generally knock them down to start with and then most stay down. Of course there are still runners as with anything.That particular bullet was a Woodleigh soft.
I personally use Woodleigh Hydro in my .458 Lott, excellent bullet, makes a large wound channel in soft tissues. Not as large as a soft, but definitely larger than any other solid I have used.
Very good for buffalo, hippo, and large things. However on lighter animals, a good soft would be better. Barnes TSX are my favourite; A-Frame, Woodleigh, North Fork, GS Customs, CEB, and many others have top-notch bullets.
How does the Hydro perform on Sambar? Mostly exit holes?
