Is it possible he was picked up by watercraft and taken up/down river?

Well in that case I will try to keep it around 11 pounds or so. If I need to, I can always add a little weight later on. Does anybody know of a hand load for the 450 NE 3 1/4, using the Barnes 500 gr. TSX? Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the info. Huh, in the book African Dangerous Game Cartridges, there are several 500 gr loads listed. In any case, I plan to load it to have a velocity of 2050 or 2000. Trying to find load data this point. When I thought of the 13 pounds, I figured I could train around the weight...

Does anybody have any 450 NE 3 1/4" load data using the 500 gr. version of the Barnes .458 tsx that they would be willing to share? Thanks.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Thank you for all the posts and help. I am not as worried about the recoil at this point. I recently purchased a .300 win mag bolt action that weighs 6.5 pounds (installed the Limbsaver Airtech before even shooting it). I calculated the recoil for that...

Does anybody have any 450 NE 3 1/4" load data using the 500 gr. version of the barnes .458 tsx that they would be willing to share? Thanks.

No problem, I appreciate you pointing that out, as I like my information to be as correct as possible. I may go with the 450 NE, as I plan to make the rifle 12 pounds and use the LimbSaver recoil pad. Does anybody use these recoil pads on their big bore rifles? If so, how effective would you say...

Thank you for all the answers. I checked with them and I can build it as long as I am not going to sell it. Thanks for that reminder, I doubled checked it as well.

What is the differance in recoil between the 450/400 NE and the 450 NE? Does the 450/400 NE qualify as a charge stopper? How much more powerfull than the .375 h&h is the 450/400 NE? (Last two questions are pure curiosity) Thanks for the replies and info.

I am going to be building a double rifle as my final project in my machining school (if I can find a blasted blueprint for a boxlock action, if anybody knows a source please tell), but I am having a hard time choosing a caliber. Originally I was going to use the .375 H&H Mag. as my cartridge...

I am new here so forgive any initial mistakes. I am currently in school to be a machinist and for my final project I am toying with the idea of doing a double rifle action or the like. Does anybody know the contact info of Ken Owen? Thanks.
