Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 470 NE Double

Figured I might add something here.

The rifle is a Heym that belongs to a friend. He was going to Africa and wanted to shoot some before he left, so he had another friend load up some solids and jacketed soft points. Even handloading gets expensive with big bore stuff, so I bought an LBT mold and started casting bullets.

Here is a target shot with those bullets. We didn't shoot on paper much, but did shoot out to 320 yards.

The load Frank took to Africa was a 2,200 FPS load. He took a sable, leopard, and several wart hogs with those bullets and probably others as well.



This is a photo of the sky screens hit with a 515 grain LBT, .470NE. Long story short, the scope mount for this rifle works well, but takes some getting to know. The bullet split both screens and bent the wires.
