Tested Barnes 500 gr SLD FN in my 470 NE, And the result was bullseye.
Tested also Barnes 500 grs TSX and the spread with the solid, and it was not good enough, spread 3"
Tested with 500 grs A-Frame and the spread was 1", and placed in the center.
This combi are following me to Moz and the buff hunt.

What's the plan for the receiving end of a 500 grain bullet in Moz?
Like to see if you have any recovered bullets from your trip as well.
 
Glad you are sorted! Sounds like you are ready for an adventure.

If you were in the U.S., you could get all the Barnes Banded solid 500gr 470 you wanted from me for 40 cents U.S. each! Well, up to 700 of them, anyway! :)

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

Best,

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
