Since I got the rifle, I tried some factory ammunition as a trial & got immediate satisfactory groupings. Ive played around with the 400grn Rhino soft points and local SA powders in the 2200fps region, groups well. But ultimately for all my hunting I settled on the factory Norma African PH...

:A Clapping: Great post! Man I love the forty somethings & glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! I seem to have missed where the .375 has been bashed in this discussion.:A Stirring: I have had the greatest of pleasure with my .404 Jeffery this past season. Buffalo, Hyena, Eland, Giraffe...

I had great success with the 450 grain Woodleighs (Norma African PH ammo @ 2150fps) out of my .404 Jef. took a bull at around 60M broad on, shot just above the heart, and the bullet was stuck under the skin of the opposite shoulder. The bull didn't make 35M before going down for good. Also...

Everyone lives within their means, so I settled for a CBL hunt through a reputable outfitter. I had a great time & not once felt it being a watered down or staged hunt, on the contrary, I had a hard but satisfying walk & stalk hunt. There's something about it, after following that familiar...

Great read! Thanks for posting.

Spoke to Tienie yesterday, on his way to the airport. Can definitely not go wrong there, they run a brilliant outfit. Have a Buffalo Bull / cow combo booked upon his return. Cant wait!

300grn .375 Woodleigh HD, bullet was found just under the skin on the opposite shoulder, perfect performance delivered from a quality bullet.

Some pictures of the internal view of a buffalo cow hunted by a friend of mine (Frederik), just have a look at the size of the ribs that overlap each other like armor. 300grn .375 Woodleigh HD, bullet was found just under the skin on the opposite shoulder, perfect performance delivered from a...

White tails and African buffalo are in two completely different categories. The DGX is not up to a reliable standard for my liking to take down an animal that can & will kill you when given half a chance once badly injured due to poor bullet performance. Again, why risk it when there are far...

Going after DG, I want to feel confident with my equipment. I use Hornady for practice & roll my own Swift A-frames or use the Norma African PH loaded with Woodleigh softs & FMJ's in my 450/400, 404Jeffery & .470Ne. The DGX bullets I recovered from my backstop in comparison to say Barnes...

Id say its circumstantial, but my vote goes to Elephant cows with calves especially if they have experienced predators (2 & 4 legged) before. There was the big 5 then & the big 5 now, as the world evolved & human influence and other factors has affected the behavior of these animals, some are...

I can agree 100% to this. I have had great success with the Woodleigh's out of my 470NE The moderately low 2050-2200FPS in the NE allows for perfect expansion especially in the larger cal. Recovered bullets from a lion(18M) & (+/- 80M) buff which looked near identical to the example on the box...

IvW, your assumption wrt recoil or rather lack there of as my only preference to certain calibers is incorrect. But please enlighten me with what it is you trying to get at. For good orders sake, I did not reprobate any of those calibers, I stated that they don't appeal to me. But I find it...
