Flatter trajectory out of a double rifle? The 458 Winchester Magnum is a foreign cartridge? Don't American hunters go to Africa using American guns?

 One has to have a CLUE to own and shoot a Weatherby!

Nyalubwe,
You need to read this one from the start. This dude knows all, and has never been there. A real gadfly at work. Makes me wonder if Lee24 or Moccasinjoe have been resurrected.

what a shame that this thread has come to this. polska, i do believe that you are a shooter, and not a hunter. i will partake in this thread no more.
I might hunt too much, but it is still not enough!

Nice ballistic coefficient on that one. Any fears of over penetration?

Bob,
I had to go find that poster. It is now one of my favorites!

Boattail better than flat base.
Ballistic tips when it gets cold.
Never underestimate the effect of gravity.

Penetration, however slight....

Ingwe said something about reduced loads. I'm guessing he's using SR 4759 and low pressure, but I'm skeptical that his performance will be adequate. Without sufficient penetration and expansion, DG is left wounded and angry. The follow up could be very dangerous, not to mention the possibility of a wasted trophy fee. There are just some things I wouldn't want my PH following up on.
