Shot many head of plains game from Duiker to Eland with 300 A-frames from a 375hh; lots of one shot kills(38 of 40). About the only thing they did damage to in a negative way was a Jackel(off side was sure a mess.LOL). All 3 PH's that trip were pleased with the performance.

Recovered very few, and a good portion broke the off side shoulder and exited(Impala,Bluewildebeest,Nyala). I did have a few text book recovered examples from a few frontals; Kudu found in the ham,Gemsbok found under the skin after going thru the rumen;Blue Wildebeest again as the Gemsbok under the skin.

Shooting them now in a 270win; and had good performance on a Muledeer this year.
