Hej 416Rigby - det er en fin opsummering du der har skrevet. Minder om Kevin Robertson.
Jeg vil dog tillade mig at slå en krølle på det sidste åbne punkt:
Som du selv bemærker er ammunitionen ikke lovlig efter Namibisk lov -det interessante er dog at Dooley fik lov til at skyde. Han har muligvist overbevist PH'en på baggrund af rekylen.
Egentligt er det en smuk afrunding på hele historien om den oprindelige 12.500 kroners Pedersoli dobbelriffel i 45-70. http://www.dba.dk/asp/soegning/detail.as...d=48640763
Derudover ligner det iøvrigt en Kalispel aluminiumskuffert der er til salg med riflen http://www.kalispelcaseline.com/Pg/HuntingCase.asp (GD: der er nok derfor at prisen er høj.)
og jeg er efterhånden overbevist om at sælgeren er en ekspert der er - eller burde være - på dette forum.
(I parentes bemærket kender jeg ikke sælgeren og har iøvrigt ikke nogen aktier i annoncen.)

The elephant. The Kalahari.
On the morning of the hunt we traveled about an hour from the lodge to where the elephant had been last seen. We found fresh tracks and the bushman trackers took off on horseback and with in an hour and a half located the bull. We set off on foot and in the heat of well over 100 degrees it was very hot. After getting in position for the wind we moved into the area where the elephant was resting in what little shade there was. Ill never forget the fist glimpse of the bull, he was so huge and fanning himself with his ears.
We moved in to under 30 yards for a side brain shot and Erik set up the shooting sticks. We had been very careful to make sure the bull did not see or sense us being there. Erik reminded me once again to be very careful in placing my shot. I set the open sites carefully on the area between his eye and ear and slowly squeezed the trigger. I did pull the shot just slightly and missed the brain just by an inch or so. The bullet went clean through the elephants head and we could hear it flying through the air after it passed through the elephants head. The second shot hit the mark and the bull dropped in his tracks. Although it killed the elephant immediately, I reloaded the double and made reassurance shot. After years of dreams and planning, the bull dropped within seconds of my first shot. Once we had located the bull, it was over very fast.
Everyone was amazed at how well the 45-70 performed on such a huge and powerful animal. The bullets were amazing. I have taken lots of plains game, a lion, two Cape buffalo, and a hippo with this gun, but even I was unsure about the elephant. It was amazing how well it all went off. Thanks for making such an incredible bullet and helping me to fulfill my dream of taking an elephant with the 45-70.

Citat:quote:Det første skud skød rent faktisk forbi hjernen, men han ramte den bedøvede elefant i hjernen med andet-skuddet fra sin dobbelløbede hanebøsse (ligner Pedersoli - se link til billede allernederst). Hallo.

...
Spørgsmålet er hvad Mr. Kevin Dooley ville have gjort såfremt hans ellers lette skud fra under 30 yards og skydestok havde ramt forbi hjernen?
