The older CorBon 305 grain Penetrator load is a stellar monolithic projectile. Author Brian Pierce shot through two Cape buffalo standing broadside just inside 100 yards. Velocity was 1,670 fps on the CorBon 405 gr 45-70 factory load he used. The 444 CorBon .429, 305 gr. load with that bullet has a factory velocity of 2,150 fps. Quite sure with this 444 load you could easily slay most anything encountered. As a substitute currently to the CorBon load I’d probably load the .429, 300 grain Barnes Buster. It would duplicate the CorBon projectile well.
