Would you give this same advise towards a 500 Jeff, for the client role? Or is your opinion mostly towards the PH role?500 Jeff most devistatingly effective DG cartridge I haveever used and seen used on DG.
Yes in a bolt action. Only time you need a double is for Leopard and Lion. My opinion. In which case it is a toss up between a 450/400 NE or a 500/416NE...
500 Jeff is devestating on Lion but too much for leopard. Leopard follow up requires a specialised setup due to the speed etc involved in a follow up
I have used 340gr, 350gr and 380gr bullets extensively in the 375 H&H.
However SD alone is not the holy grail I need 2300 fps without pressure as well..
The 404 Jeff bullets are for my daughters rifle that I am going to restock for her. She is studying nature managemnt is currently in the Kruger National park on a tracking and trailing course and may be off to the BVC next year for her practical.....wild Africa big 5 country....404 Jeff perfect for her the 500 Jeff I use is a bit much for her...she will also be doing her PH licence later this year.
In other words, for the ultimate DG client rifle, would you still recommend the 500 Jeff, provided the person carrying it has sufficiently practiced with it?
