No way do I want to get into the animal debate - but i would suggest to you shooting an elephant with a black powder gun and projectile is not really news - it was done that way long before we developed modern hunting centerfire guns.

I have not watched the video does he say what his load was? What gun it was?

If it were a150 grainload and 50 cal projectile - that might be news worthy... not sure I would have done it....

Of course it's not. They're were insane people slinging 1200 grain balls at elephants 150years ago. But what got me is that the animal just shook it's head for a second and then tipped over. The shooter was a using a side by side rifle and very good guess is that the projectile was, perhaps, a powerbelt
