North Fork PP

[Crishuntbrasil]

My only concern is that I don't want to shoot something where "avoiding the shoulder blade" is part of the equation....too many thing can go wrong, and I want something that will get the job done even if everything else is not perfectly right! Right tool for right job.

I agree with you, for large and resistant bodies, this is the SS...but without an emergency, the PP won't do badly!

NF 375 300 gr PP from recent lion.
375 HH. MV 2590. 70 yards.

That's what a friend said in the posts, any bullets we manage to recover from them can be used in an official company advertisement. That's what I call consistency and great results.

I did recover a few of the .375 300 grain Northfork PP. they all looked exactly like this one recovered from under the hide on the offside shoulder of a mature eland bull. View attachment 705521View attachment 705522

This "child" ate a few bones along the way, but he's still as beautiful as a well-nourished mushroom!

Do you mean cape buffalo when you say "large and resistant bodies" or large plains game?

I'm specifically referring to African buffalo, water buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest... these are the three hardest-hitting animals in the world! Eland is a large animal but can't handle bullets; once wounded, it gives up quickly. I've lost count of the elands I've hunted with 30.06. This year, in one day, we hunted three huge eland bulls with a Saeur 101 at 30.06 using 180-grain accubond, one shot each, the second at 240 meters.

Thanks, makes sense. Brian
