Bengt Berg wrote it was ready made as the best bear cartridge he had come across . When he were after Asian bear or bear the .360 nr 2 set was what he had on his Simson action then .

Brenneke used the 8x64S as a prent case for the 7mm , when he designed it in 1917 . The trouble with it was the way the Great War turned and the lack of years before German ammo once again was available . It would been excellent in the India areas with the heavy bullets it’s made for and the...

Swift and Northfork make some 275-280 grain , not a 310 as I know now , have a look at Hawk also

I wish a 300 hp copper if NF would make a .404 in that would be a truly great bullet . When I had a .404 , I had some of them ( Norwegian made copper ones ) they made the ballistic of .404 like a 180 .30-06 and much better than it was originally when it came .

This scope is a fine versatile and compact scope with good light gathering also.

I think it was @Hunter-Habib or Professor Mawla that spoke about the altering of the Silvertip without notice . Going from a strong nickel steel cap and thick jacket to an aluminum tip and soft jacket with other materials mixed in it .

.35 cal Oryx FL , too soft and brittle . Incidentally the original FL ammonia they loaded for it back when it came was some nickel jacketed Alaska original made for .358 Win, and others . All were the same , brittle , soft , lot of superficial wounds and ruined meats .

Tim from Buffalo Bore speaks about some run ins he had with some ammo makers that made him see that there is no buddies or brotherhood in that business . A very good and learning episode to see .

.404 and 9,3 Are two good friends to bring along ( as Peter Flack said on his SA hunt dvd , he would always bring two dg rifles when on dg , and 1 pg with 1 dg when on pg ) as his examples were then .

That is not good quality assurance of a maker with two different solids of various materials in same box What if one was brittle of them and bent in the impact or worse , broke down completely as opposed to what it should behave like .
