Questions on 416 Rigby loaded with 400 grn Nosler Partitions

You have found gold. The 416 Partition has a very tiny front core and retains > 80% of its weight when losing the front core. They are not comparable to Partitions in smaller calibres, even 375. They penetrate very deep and I have more than one exit on buffalo body shots. Frankly to recall we have only found one bullet that was shot lengthwise by my wife into a sable at 200 yards from a 416 Rigby, entered on the arse and found in the neck.
When I hunted lion I switched to Woodleighs because my feeling it was too hard and expands too little for lion.
This year I shot a zebra facing obliquely on the shoulder and it exited the right buttock.
If I could only find any in South Africa I would buy all of them.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
