Sierra .458 400gr ProHunter on Buffalo

[GoexFFG]

Anyone used this bullet on Cape Buffalo?

It’s a good way to get your self killed.

A fragile 45/70 bullet with a hollow point and poor sectional density.

The standard in 458 for dangerous game is 480- 500 grain for lead core bullets.

A Barnes 450 TSX has a good reputation as well.

Bullet questions don’t come any easier to answer than this. No. Don’t.

I have shot some buffaloes with various classic SP RN bullets, but I would absolutely advise against the use of this bullet for shooting buffaloes.
