AUSTRALIA: Australia Buffalo Hunt

[JWB300]

Great report and excellent photography. It looks like a truly enviable experience.

is that a picture of the .270gr ttsx sitting on the horns? Looks like my idea of ideal expansion from a bullet.

I wasn't happy with my choice in the Hornady .270 interbond so I'm looking for alternatives in the future. Everything I shot with it died but the cup and core separated completely in several of the animals and I don't like that. It made me extremely hesitant to consider it for a buffalo hunt and in the end is why I chose not to shoot a buff when I had the opportunity during my last week. The 300 DGX did not group well for me so I had to pass on the chance.

Thanks Wildrose - that is the 270 gr TSX. I believe the TTSX only comes in 250gr. I've shot a lot of critters with the TSX and TTSX's and if they don't exit they look like this.

Thanks. Nosler is coming out with factory ammo soon offering I think 300gr loads in both the Partition and Accubond. I plan to give both a try.

Lucky to be invited to such a neat part of the world .
I have often wondered about the chances of a hunt at the top of Aussie after pigs and Buff .
Sounds like it is not an easy hunt to organize .
But it would be an amazing time if possible .
Cheers Dory .

Cheers Dory - there are ways and as always its about knowing the right people. I'm sure being on Stewart Island you could arrange a swap hunt for whitetails?

Thank you very much for sharing! It looked like the kind of hunt I could really enjoy. That sort of thing is not for mass marketing, but for the special few who look for adventure and opportunity. Well done!
