I've always been terrified of unbonded bullets, but they're always very accurate and work well on small, thin-skinned animals. I've used the Hornady LDX 143-grain 6.5 Creedmoor a lot on impala, blesbock, bushpig, jackal, warthog, and even lechwe in Africa. And I'll tell you, to be honest, I've...

Woodleigh Weldcore 450 Grain Bonded Round Nose

I'm specifically referring to African buffalo, water buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest... these are the three hardest-hitting animals in the world! Eland is a large animal but can't handle bullets; once wounded, it gives up quickly. I've lost count of the elands I've hunted with 30.06. This year...

This has happened to me twice, but not with buffaloes but with wild boars! bullet Hornady SST 150 grains in 270 win

This "child" ate a few bones along the way, but he's still as beautiful as a well-nourished mushroom!

That's what a friend said in the posts, any bullets we manage to recover from them can be used in an official company advertisement. That's what I call consistency and great results.

I agree with you, for large and resistant bodies, this is the SS...but without an emergency, the PP won't do badly!

After more than 35 years of hunting, something I've learned practically about ballistics is that when a projectile weighs more than 400 grams, the most lethal velocity in the world is 1,200 fps! This kills anything you can put a good bullet in a vital place! EVERYTHING! Plus, this means more...

Remember, the heavier the bullet, the greater the momentum, and the greater the wound diameter and damage after expansion. As a guide, I've hunted thousands of animals with the .375 HH caliber, and I'm passionate about 300-grain bullets. I would never sacrifice that weight for a little more...

It failed to do what it was designed to do. In the case of expanding bullets, they fail when they don't expand or lose more than half their weight in the process. In the case of solid bullets, they fail when they break, bend, or deform, failing to penetrate what they were intended to penetrate...

As it is a bullet made for a specific function, hunting lions and leopards, I doubt it will appear in calibers lower than 375 HH

A 400-grain 416 A-Frame and a 300-grain Nosler Partition in 375! Both fired at the same buffalo, on different sides of the shoulder! It's impossible to know which one killed him, but the A-Frame's depth and weight retention were greater! After the first 375 shot, he walked a few meters and...

A friend with a new rifle in 375 HH really wanted to have the opportunity to test it, I stayed in cover and let him finish off the buffalo that was dead standing up!

I hunted many buffalo as a hunter and then more than a hundred as a guide, and I've never seen a "machine" like the buffalo, they can handle everything and want to take you with them at the end! I have stories of buffalo hunts that if I told them, many people wouldn't believe me.

I agree 100% with your consideration!!

Do you have a large caliber rifle and want an extremely reliable bullet that opens wide and retains 95% of its weight? 416 Rigby Woodleigh Weldcore 450 Grain Bonded Round Nose

Calibre : 416 Rigby bullet: Woodleigh Weldcore 450 Grain Bonded Round Nose Velocidade: 2.290 f/s Distância: 40 metros Peso original: 350 gr Peso retido: - Espécie: Water Buffalo A low shoulder shot hit the heart and both lungs, stopping in the skin on the opposite side. The buffalo ran 30...

30.06 Spring 300 Win mag 416 Rigby

I use a Heym 89 B cal 470 NE with a Trijjicom SRO mounted very low. In DG hunts, mainly lions that are very fast. As a second weapon I have a Winchester 70 in cal 416 rem mag and a compact red dot aimpoint.

Simplicity is often the ultimate in sophistication! Congratulations on your choice, friend; it can't go wrong! I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER seen an A-frame fail to open.

The shooting distances in Limpopo are short, that closed savannah rarely allows shots at more than 100 meters, and the vast majority of the shots were lateral, I thought I would recover them all, sadly mistaken. And that was what impressed me the most, particularly with the zebras, which are...

In fact, Dr. Robertson approached Mike Brady, former owner and founder of North Fork Bullets, with this specific demand: a reliable tip that would expand quickly in the narrow bodies of large African cats... and they developed the PP, adding to the SS a nasty "ring" that accelerates full...

I know that the SS is more recommended for buffaloes and I don't say I recommend it, but I swear to you that after these practical tests, and speaking only between the two of us... I wouldn't be afraid at all to shoot behind the shoulder (avoiding the shoulder blade) of a big buffalo using a 300...

A 167-meter shot! Hornady CX 180 grains, 300 win mag! accelerated to no more than 2,800 fps, smooth recoil and great accuracy!

I'm sorry, it's not 87, it's 78 years old and a very steady hand to shoot, as you can see in this film

The North Fork PP (percussion point) as a variation of the excellent SS expanding projectile designed by master Dr. Kevin Robertson and made by NF for use exclusively on big cats! The projectile is a feat of engineering and has a rapid-expanding ring at the top that allows it to expand to its...

But that's what I always said, the point doesn't clog, it bends as you can see in the photo and when it bends the hole responsible for the beginning of the expansion disappears, that's why they don't open.

My client is 87 years old, his reflexes are no longer the same, he took a while and the zebra moved, what matters is that in the end everything worked out.

It went through the skull on both sides, the base of the brain, and stopped less than an inch from the skin on the opposite side. It followed a perfectly straight line. The hippo never knew what happened!

I'll explain why most people don't see them. This is because no one looks for them; hunters prefer to have a refreshing drink and wait for lunch in the comfort of the farmhouse. And I think that's the right thing to do after a long morning of hunting! My problem is that I can't. My curiosity is...

This week a client shot a zebra at 180 meters with a 30.06 using Federal Terminal Acsent 175 grain ammunition... (great bullet) the shot entered behind the shoulder and did not come out the other side, it came out in the chest, curved inside the animal and touched the ground at an incredible...

A 300-grain .375 traveling at 2,500 fps is completely capable of perfect expansion out to 200 meters. I've done and seen this over a hundred times. When they fail, the blame isn't solely on velocity, as many people imagine.

Once, with my Sauer 202 in .375 HH, I got a perfect shoulder shot on a large male water buffalo! The herd was in the background, semi-hidden by the edges of the tall jungle. With the shot, they all ran, disappearing completely into the green of the jungle. The old bull had to do the same, but...

lol... absolutely nothing against Americans, QUITE the opposite, without you and your wonderful industries, animals would be harder to die!! and if there's one thing I've learned in all these years getting dirty in shit and blood to find small bullets inside big animals is that there's a...

Without a doubt, the plastic bridge prevents this from happening more frequently, in side shots where the tip of the project hits the side of the animal and closes the firing hole. However, I have some Hornady CX 180 bullets fired from 300 Win Mag that also didn't work, they didn't open, and...

This is also a problem we should be aware of!

The 16-year-old son of a friend and client wanted to hunt a hippo, but he had no idea about the animal's anatomy and didn't know where to shoot! As a guide, I bought a life-size hippo target, placed it at 100 meters, explained the anatomy, and showed him where the brain was. He confidently shot...

I know this post will stir up controversy. Many will disbelieve what I'm about to say, others will say my ammunition is slow and things like that, because I know you Americans love these bullets, but... I'm going to share here a few years of experience using monolithic bullets for big game...

NOTE: Although the box says 416, the two bullets recovered here are 300-grain 375 HH bullets. Two other cases were recorded by a fellow PH, both involving buffalo, both with 300-grain 375 HH. The first was a frontal head shot above the eye, passing through the entire head and stopping at the...

Case 3, double 470 NE, Break Away 500 grains, a huge male black giraffe! Shot from 40 meters, right in the chest! Just one shot, entered the chest and didn't exit! The male ran for 50 meters as if nothing had happened, stopped, changed legs, and collapsed. When we reached him, he was already...

case 02, an old and smart African buffalo bull, once again 416 rigby, entered low behind the left leg, ate the entire upper part of the deer and came out straight, through the base of the neck on the opposite side...
