Yes sir we do! LocknLoad:Any dealer or distributor in SA?
Nice bull and rifle. Is it 416 Rigby?
That is a fantastic field photo.

Thanks! If I decide to go the NF route, I’ll definitely contact them.NF sent me load data. What I liked about the data was it's based on a M70 factory barrel. If you can't get it from NF, then I'll forward you when I get back off the road.
I agree, the PP in about every caliber would be a good thing !I’ve heard the North Fork PP are great on cats.. just wish they made a .366 PP in 286gr (or 300gr) for the 9.3 x 62 and 74r calibers.
Man after my own heart. In addition to heavey for caliber, I try to get the bullets in round nose form. They just seem to hit harder. I also don’t hot rod them as they seem to hold together better at the speed envelope you described.I had a long talk with Dr. Robertson last weekend. He is a big fan of the heavy for caliber North Fork Bullets and suggested that I go to the NF 430gr bullets for buffalo in my 416 Rigby. He also said the 375 H&H with a NF 350gr is the perfect buffalo medicine for most people.
I wish more reloading data was available. With the scarcity and cost of reloading components, I want to develop loads with minimal experimentation and waste. Perhaps some of us can start sharing some data here. I have yet to load any NF bullets, but I have 30cal 200gr Semi Spitzer (SS), 7mm 175gr SS, 416cal 370gr SS, 430gr SS and 430gr Cup Pt on hand. I plan to use Barnes data for starting loads along with my chronograph. I always prefer heavy for caliber bullets and never "hot rod" them. I try for the best accuracy at 2300-2450 velocity.
Safe shooting
Spot on - NF designs the tapered jacket thickness to expand according to normal-for-caliber velocities at normal impact ranges. This enhances the overall performance for the best results. You don’t have to be super fast to be super good !Man after my own heart. In addition to heavey for caliber, I try to get the bullets in round nose form. They just seem to hit harder.
