A wonderful cartridge but not a "stopper". Good for Buff if you put your bullet in the right place first and have a .470 riding on the PH's shoulder. Then no worries and more likely than not the .470 bore will gather cobwebs for the whole trip. I prefer to use Woodleigh bullets, especially in a double rifle, however. Barnes are a tough slug to swallow for a fine old girl. The new Hornady ammo could be good too. Uses a bonded bullet but Ive not had a chance to test it. Good shooting,
