On a recent Cape Buffalo/PG hunt with Pawprint Safaris in South Africa, I took a nice buffalo with my Winchester 70, 416 Rem Mag and Swift A Frame bullets. The load drove the 400 grain bullets to around 2325fps. It was a frontal shot at approximately 75 yards. This load is very mild in my rifle, but did a great job! I also took 7 more animals with my Kimber 375 H&H with factory Federal Premium 300 grain Swift A Frame ammo. All one shot kills, except for the Waterbuck, which I gave an insurance shot, just before he was going down. These bullets gave wonderful results, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Also a huge thanks to Pawprint Safaris for a great hunt!
Here is the 400 grain 416 Bullet taken from the buffalo. It penetrated the chest, destroyed the heart and lungs, and was found in the rear of the intestines.
Excellent bullet performance on one fine buffalo! I really like those deep curls! All very good looking trophies! That impala looks exceptional! Very handsome! Congratulations! I guess you’re a little sad to be back?
I have used the Swift A-Frames for PG in 338win mag, 257R, 257W and 30-06 all with excellent results and nice bullet expansion.
Can’t wait to try my 180 gr A-Frames out of 300wsm in Namibia 2020. Great hunt, thanks for the report.
Man, you got some nice trophies. Congrats on a very successful hunt. That Toy looks like it's loaded down pretty good. So when are you going back, to Africa, not work?
Nice. Congratulations on your hunt. I'm sure that you're planning on an encore appearance. I'm also a 416 Remington fan and enjoy it. Though decidingly over gunned, I just shot two woodchucks with it, just to stay safari ready. Sent from my SM-G930T using AfricaHunting mobile app
Looks like a great hunt! Congrats on some great trophies. I like that .416 and .375 combo. Great bullet performance.
