OK, here's my latest with cast bullets this year. That is a .470 Nitro Express with a 480 gr. SWCGC from an Accurate mould loaded to ~2,200 fps shot from a bit over 40 yards with a Merkel double rifle.

For those that missed it, a story about the above can be read here here.

This is a steer I killed in July with the .470 NE, but with a 500 gr. LBT WFNGC at ~2,200 fps.

For those who missed it in the African forum, a parody of a buffalo hunt regarding this steer can be read here.
