Good afternoon,

Thank you very much for your interest.

What is your opinion on the demand for these calibers? And the bullet weight? In which countries is the demand mainly?

Have a great day.

Best regards,
North Fork Bullet Team

Morning Ekaterina, maybe you could get one of the more active shops like Safari Outdoor or similar to sell your products in RSA.

Good afternoon, Bejane!

Wishing you a great day!

"Dear Sir,

Here is a North Fork hunting recollection from a South African Cape Buffalo hunt:

I hunted a Cape Buffalo in South Africa with a 416 caliber rifle with a unique cartridge that resembles the obsolete 416 Dakota. I used North Fork 430 grain SS and CPS bullets. The cartridges were stoked with Reloader 17 powder to have a muzzle velocity of 2410 ft/s (735 m/s). On the range these bullets had the same point of impact at 50 and 100 yards. I shot the buffalo with two SS bullets and when it was not moving anymore, I put two CPS in it as life insurance. Based on calculations, the impact velocity with the SS bullets were approximately 2200 ft/s (670 m/s). The CPS bullets passed through and were not recovered. The two SS bullets were recovered on the outboard side under the skin. The one SS bullet weighed 427.9 gr (99.5% weight retention), had a diameter of 22 mm (2X expansion) and a length of 26 mm. The other SS bullet weighed 422.9 gr (98.3% weight retention), had a diameter of 21 mm (1.92X expansion) and a length of 24 mm. Both bullets expanded symmetrically and, based on where the bullets were recovered versus the entry wounds, the penetration was virtually linear despite having broken bones. As can be seen in the photos, these bullets performed perfectly. I will not take on very large game with anything other than North Fork bullets.
