Buff are tough

No need to feel that all is lost. I've recently purchased several Big Bores, some with muzzle brakes, some without.

If you have a capability to handload, and build some light loads to start out while using the brake, your tolerance will grow quickly. Eventually I took the brake off, pumped up the loads to factory power levels and beyond, and I have no problems.

I often compare this to weight lifting. Nobody but nobody starts out doing a 400 pound Bench Press. Depending on your start point, it may take a year, or several years to build up to that point one added plate to the bar at a time.

You may find that it's not possible to reach your goal of firing a 9 pound 585 Nyati with max loads, but you'll certainly feel comfortable with a lot more than your original starting point.

I've rapidly progressed from 375 H&H, through 416 Rigby, through 458 Lott, through 450 Rigby, and I'm now considering a beautiful 505 Gibbs that member @krish has on offer. A 600gr bullet at 2350fps is the goal.
 
Google cut outs of woodleigh, swift a frame, Hornady DGX, and others. Woodleigh softs might be good in big slow calibers but it’s a pretty weak design for 375.

They are softer than the others, but they offer heavy for caliber bullets that slows them down to an acceptable range for the design. My .375 H&H shoots cloverleafs with their 350 gr soft at 2,300 fps. Their .375, 350 gr conventional solid at 2,300 fps is the deepest penetrating load I have ever seen. I’m quite certain it would go through 2 buff and be looking for more.
 
Thanks! I want to go beyond what I have, even with my broken up bod.
 
As far as we know and understand Rhino Bullets are no longer in production as of recent.
Well that is a shame. Looked like an excellent product.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
