Heym 89b 450/400

I don't have chrono numbers for Hornady factory ammo, but I could get the numbers next time I'm at the range.

I shoot Safari Arms ammo in my Heym 450/400 Double. 400 gr at 2150 fps. I've stopped 3 elephants with that rifle/ammo combo.

I use Safari Arms ammo in my Heym 458 Lott, and Heym 375 H&H. 458 ammo - 500 gr at 2200 fps.
375 ammo - 270 gr at 2800 fps.

So far, I've never had an issue with any of the rifles or ammo.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
