cup point solids on game

[Green Chile]

Has anyone here used these on elephant?

.410 Diameter for 450-400, correct? They are in stock at Reloading International. Cup Point Solids as well as Softs.

I was very impressed. Of course they quit making them!

Don't even think about it. Flat nosed solids, always.

Best are Cutting Edge Bullets Safari Solids (All Brass) as seen on the left.

I would love to try those but they are on backorder of 10-12 weeks. I can try them on a hunt next year.

Never seen red brass before. ...

Just the lighting. They’re brass, alright. Or at least that’s what Cutting Edge Bullets claims they are. I see no reason to doubt them. They make an excellent product. Just like the South African all-brass DZOMBO solids.

I think I need some help from Brickburn. I messed up my attempt at posting a link to a previous post, but don’t know what to do to make it better. ( help)

The other thread that included some CPS info covered much of the same ground.

Top 2 from buffalo. 416 Rem. TSX and CPS
Bottom 2 from eland. 416 Rem. CPS

@Green Chile, I’m sure you’ve already made your mind up, but I wanted to add my experience with the NF CPS. I’ve only used them once on buff and I thought they were a pretty good balance between increased wound channel size while still having plenty of bone smashing power.
Below is a 400gr 416 Rigby CPS head pulled from a buff. Perfect expansion of the point + being pushed by all that solid copper = love it.

Yes, I have used that .416 400 gr CPS on ele, multiple buff, croc, eland, etc with excellent results. Broke both shoulders on a big zebra and lifted dust all the way down his back on impact. That bullet is still going somewhere out there.
