North Fork .423 fullets

[Bowhunter806]

I am looking to reload ammo for upcoming trip to Africa and lookiing for a 400 grain bullet to load for my 404 Jeffery. As you can imaging this is proving to be a difficult task. I can get some 385 Grain North Fork Spitzer bullets and solids from a local shop here in town. Anybody have espereince withthese bullets in that wieght, and can you advise if it is worth pulling the trigger?

I love the north fork bullet. I’ve had great results, but with the 400 grain bullet. Reloading international has 430 grain in stock.

Yes, try Reloading International

I’d be curious to know what the SD on those .423 380 grain North Forks is? Might be similar to the .375 300 grain bullet or the .366 286 grain bullet?

.303 is what I am getting on the SD calc

.303 is what I am getting on the SD calc

So virtually the same as the 375 H&H 300 grain and the 9.3x62 286 grain. Not bad company to be in. Thanks

I love the North Fork bullets, use them in my 404 and 275 Rigby. Had excellent performance but do prefer the flat point solid to the cup point. I have personally had one cup point fail to penetrate, and my PH had the same in his 505 Gibbs. They are hard to find but the 380 gr. will serve you well, just put them in the right spot and you will have a dead animal. Picture is the 2 shots I got into my 2019 Buffalo with the 404.
