Open sighted .450/400 for a 1 gun Safari?

So I took my Heym 89b 450/400 to the range today to do some load development. Hornady DGX 400 grain bullets over 90 grains of VV N565 seems ro work well and gave about 15mm L and R pairs at 30 metres. The two DGS bullets I fired seemed to be no different to the DGX.
what do our fundis think of this load?
But yes, you were all correct, I need a 1moa Trijicon and I have found one in Johannesburg. The 3.25 moa is great for buffalo inside 75 metres, but for PG I will need more definition.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
