Tim Sundles, sole owner of Buffalo Bore, walks through some of the most iconic (and misunderstood) magazine rifles for dangerous game, covering .51 caliber, .50 caliber, and .474 caliber options used across Africa.

From the .500 AHR and .500 Jeffery, to the .505 Gibbs and the underrated .470 Capstick, Tim breaks down real-world ballistics, bullet weights, recoil, magazine capacity, barrel length preferences, and why some designs simply work better in the field than others. He also shares personal stories from Cape buffalo hunts, lessons learned the hard way, and what makes a rifle trustworthy when things go bad.

Tim finishes the episode by taking his Duane Wiebe .500 Jeffery outside for a live recoil demo, showing exactly how 570-grain solids behave when launched at dangerous-game velocities.
