    So I was playing with MY wire saw and wanted to what the Jacket on these looked like. This is the first cross section I have ever done so just putting that out there. seems like an approxiate .090 base .060 body and .030 ojive. any thought on this being a thick enough Jacket for certain game. was thinking it would be fine for bears and Moose etc. not sure on Bigger African stuff.

Not sure about anything of any size. But I do know that 350 will absolutely flatten a coyote at about 90 yards from my 416 Rigby
 
I have used this bullet on deer in a Taylor improved at 2600 fps. It is devastating on whitetail . As far as penetration on a moose or so I’m not sure, it does seem like a pretty soft 416 bullet.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
