Showcase your Dangerous Game hunting cartridges

That's a BIG hole in the end of that bullet or is it just the camera angle?

Kynoch made these for rapid expantion on the big cats..

My .425,
.375 H&H,
7x57 (it HAS been used on Dangerous Game, don't think I will...)

I suppose I could add the 12GA, .300 Win Mag and .303 British to the list as all these have been/ are still being used for Dangerous Game. As stated by @grand veneur however, dangerous doesn't necessarily equate to "largest".

I've always found Warthog to be particularly troublesome until.........

Fabnosh, a Kornet is a little much for warthogs. Eland maybe.

Interesting choices, what made you decide to own two 375s and two 416s?

Haha…well actually a variety of CZ, Brno, Winchester M70 and Rem 700 chambered in two 375 H&H, two 416 Rigby, one 416 Rem Mag, one 375 RUM and one 458 Lott. I’m a sucker for good deals and I need to stay off the various online gun auctions/internet gun sales!

It wasn’t that long ago all I possessed for a large caliber rifle was a 375 RUM but with a renewed interest in African hunting, large caliber rifles and thanks to this site, I’ve acquired a few more. I should be more like BeeMaa and just have an R8 Blaser with a couple barrels!

Very good find and purchase buckstix. Getting all those new cases let alone the bullets is a heaven sent as 10.75 components are not always easy to come by.
My own 404 started life as a 10.75x68 only as a Type A Pattern No.1 and with serial no 109624 it was made in same 1930-31 year range as yours.

I have a few of the original early RWS 347gr bullets to hand that were made for the 10.75x68 and a couple of old rounds, one a Kynoch with a solid bullet and the other a Berdan primed case that had an odd 285gr Hollow Point bullet seated in it. I pulled the bullet to ascertain it's weight and found there was no powder in what I thought was a loaded round but it has the original unfired Berdan primer. This cartridge was given to me years ago by a friend so I don't know how it came to be as it was with a strange case, Berdan primer and bullet.

RWS 347gr bullets for the Mauser 10.75x68.
