Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Tough Game!

I am truly a Barnes fan, but it was strongly suggested to me that I consider Swift A-Frame for my 2015 Cape Buffalo hunt in the Free State of the RSA.

I was carrying a Dakota Model 76 in .416 Rigby with 400 gr A-Frame bullets.

The initial shot dropped the buffalo in its tracks, but I "paid the insurance" with another shot to the heart as it was lying there.



The bullet was recovered during the skinning process against the off side hide. The 400 gr A-Frame retained over 390 gr of its original weight.



It was a high shoulder shot, but it worked for me.
