I’ve got a buffalo hunt with my son this summer and I decided I wanted to use the 430 North Fork soft in my 404. My goal was 2150-2250FPS

Just shot the starting load over the chronograph: 2207FPS. Iron sights hitting close enough to bust up a piece of old
concrete block.

I want to fine tune overall length for proper feeding but looks like things are coming together.
 
And now, from the other end of the weight spectrum, I see that CEB is making a 257g raptor. No idea what the muzzle velocity is but I’m guessing about a billion feet per second. Not sure what it’s intended for but I bet it would switch a leopard off pretty fast. I’ve requested load data. For no good reason whatsoever.

I bet it could make a pretty sweet PG bullet, or anything in NA bigger than a deer....

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
Two African Safaris Hunted South Africa both times,
