.500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

Hmmm, it is interesting that the 450 and 470 cartridges both shoot bullets in the 480-500 grain range.

Is one considered superior to the other - I suppose the 458 bullets penetrate better and the 470s have larger frontal area?

They are two peas in a pod. .470 came about as a replacement when the Brits banned .458 caliber cartridges.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
