Warren Buffett has reloaded his elephant gun.The Berkshire Hathaway chief executive, who famously said in 2011 he was using an elephant gun to hunt for acquisitions, on Friday said he is back on the prowl for more to expand the conglomerate.Just last month, Berkshire struck a deal to put $12 billion toward the $23 billion cash takeover of ketchup maker H.J. Heinz Co, but Buffett said he and vice chairman Charlie Munger were not done."But we still have plenty of cash and are generating more at a good clip. So it's back to work; Charlie and I have again donned our safari outfits and resumed our search for elephants," Buffett said in his annual letter to shareholders.
