    Preferred bullet weight for 500 Nitro

    For many years I was on the CEB 475 Raptor, 510 gn solid train. Shot a bunch of Buffalo with this load. Killed everyone of them dead as a doornail but there was something missing. I'd shoot them, they'd react like most animals do when they are shot, run off 50- 100 yards and die. Sounds...

    New Woodleigh Bullet Available
