I have a sweetheart of a rifle, a No.1 RSI in 7x57. I plan to take it to Africa next year for my first trip. Im pretty well dead set on taking the old Hornady interlock 175gr RN. I like tradition and the 7x57 with a 175gr RN are very traditional in Africa. But I dont have many.
What are some of your experiences with Hawk Custom bullets? They make a 175gr RN and Im curious about them and plan to order some at some point.
Hows the accuracy
Have a they held up well on game?
How fast did you push the bullet?
What game did you take with the Hawk bullet?
What was the shot placement?
Thanks
 
On plains game, at moderate velocities and using their heavier jacket thickness you'll be more than pleased, imo. I've shot them and they work.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

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.
