If you took the 404-gr Shock Hammer to Africa, you would need only one rifle. FN Solid bullets always go along, of course, for the south-end shots on north-headed game.
If you want me to send you some 404-gr Shock Hammers, you have to swear on Knight's Honor to make that bullet the first shot at a cape buffalo. Don't go and shoot it with a 450-gr TSX by mistake.
This would mean another load work up for your rifle, just when you thought you were ready to go. I would recommend keeping it simple by sticking to AA-2230 and for your rifle use 3.480" COL. AA-2460 will do the job too. 80.0 grains of either is where you start. Both will be close to 2500 fps in your 24" barrel. Maybe 5 fps slower and 1000 psi lower pressure and a little bulkier fill with AA-2460. You can work up from there, but might not need to change a thing. Hornady and W-W Super brass are interchangeable. F-215 and WLRM primers too.
Hammer Heads (bullets) do good work.
