Gemsbuck Bull :
July 2002
PH:
Mr. I.E. van Wyk
Hunter: Tony
Outfitter: Leo Nimrod Safaris
Tony uses a 300 Ultra Mag. 1st shot 250 meters.
Too high and too far back - Tony's 2nd shot neck too far forward
at 200 meters - 3rd shot just behind shoulders slightly high
through both lungs. Went down and up Gemsbuck covered +/- 300
meters during this time. Final shot - Tony using my 375 H&H
Magnum loaded with 380gr Rhino at +/- 2150fps, +/- 1 inch lower
than his 3rd shot - 100% bullet performance. Before this Tony
dropped Zebra, Springbuck, Blesbuck and Impala all with one
shot from his 300 Ultra Mag.
He took the bullet to make a necklace (Very good African Trophy!!)

Blue
Wildebeest :
Robert Martin
What an unbelievable
bullet you make! We used the 380gr .375 bullets to back up my
wildebeest and I am truly impressed. It looked like a Barnes X
bullet after a good workout.The solid section had no deformation
and the cavity petalled out perfectly with no lead separation
visible. It appeared to retain over 98% of it's mass. I've been
using the Swift A-Frame for quite some time, as it performed best
for me, but now I think I'll switch. These things are the best
performers I have ever seen!
