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.

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
