    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.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
