Hi all — I’m considering purchasing a .470 Capstick (custom in an Interarms Mauser action). Has anyone owned, shot, or hunted with this cartridge? I’m looking for firsthand feedback on recoil management, ammo availability, terminal performance on Cape buffalo/large plains game, and handloading experience. Any practical firsthand tips appreciated — thanks.

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
