.500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

Hmmm, it is interesting that the 450 and 470 cartridges both shoot bullets in the 480-500 grain range.

Is one considered superior to the other - I suppose the 458 bullets penetrate better and the 470s have larger frontal area?

They are two peas in a pod. .470 came about as a replacement when the Brits banned .458 caliber cartridges.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
