However, one wonders when a recommendation is given on an expandable for cape buff why wouldnt someone with tons of experience mention the aframes.
My bet is that the A-Frame is "too good" of a bullet. The purpose of using the XTP-MAG was to ensure that the bullet would not exit on the offside shoulder and wound a buffalo behind the intended target. On my first buffalo, he was in a smaller isolated group of about 10 or so cows about 75 yards behind the main herd, so I could have used solids on him. The second bull was literally surrounded on all sides (including behind him) with cows, calves, and much lesser bulls. If the bullet would have penetrated, I'd have had a goat rope on my hands.
