Pete, the 100gr A frame mics at an inch for me, it's the most accurate bullet in my 12 twist rifle, do you think it'd work on heavier plains game? especially that i run it at 3450 instead of trying for BTTW 3600 fps.
Trouble with me is if any other great example of a trophy animal appears i'll shoot it, a man simply cannot gear up, load up and go back to Africa for the cost of that trophy fee, even if he does, he may NEVER see that good of an animal again, that said, plains game animals from 30 pound Steinbok to 1800lb Eland, man that's a big stretch for my 257 WM and any 100gr bullet, i fear.
using 100 gr. Swift A-Frames in a 257 Weatherby mag. at speeds between 3600 - 3800 fps i see no problem on any plains game animal in Africa with this cartridge , but like i posted i have never been to Africa yet. good luck with your choice ,let me know how you do,Pete53
