Items to consider.
He is comfortable shooting up to 450yds-500yds

Drop animal in his tracks
Cape damage
Proven

Your help is greatly appreciated.


On the hunt of a lifetime, I'd be hard pressed to use any other bullet besides a Nosler partition. The standard by which all other hunting bullets have been judged for over 60 years. They work as designed every time.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
