I'm amazed and thanks for clarifying.
As an obsessive handloader, I have never allowed a factory round to be shot in my .375 or .458, including while hunting DG in Africa.
With prices like this, how can anyone afford to shoot a .470 NE enough to become proficient enough for hunting? I guess it might not matter if you can afford a quality double rifle. As for me, the price difference between that and Model 70s allowed me to hunt more.
Another question: What are solids good for any more? Americans are not allowed to bring back elephant bulls from most of the countries where they are found, rhinos are practically extinct, and more and more PHs recommend well constructed "soft" points for buffalo, at least for the first shot or two.
Head shots on hippo? Small bucks that you don't want to overly damage?
