Jorge, You know that accuracy is more important then the rifle , caliber size. A 40caliber hole thru the chest will do wonders. Mike | |||

Sic 'em Jorge - the rifle and ammo will do it and you are shooting well. Take some good pics too. NRA Life Benefactor Member, DRSS, DWWC, Whittington Center,Android Reloading Ballistics App at http://www.xplat.net/ | |||

Jorge, That is my father. He did not shoot that buff with that .405 although...I shot it...he just wanted to take a TR photo with his TR rifle. It was loaded with 300 TSX at ~ 2250 I think. I would not hesitate to shoot one with it though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

Well men, I think I'm ready. Attached target shows four shots, two 300gr TSXs and two 300gr North Forks solids @ ~ 2260 fps. Range is 65 yards. The smaller holes in the bullseye are the NFs. Good to go! jorge  USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Vaughn, if you ever decide to take it, I'll gladly share my loads. I've ran close to 200 rounds with my two 95s and I can tell you these appear as they would work. jorge USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Jorge, Oops! Thought you were going before that, so I booked my buffalo hunt with my 1895 .405 for May-June 2012. Why not just come along with me and we can both play TR on the same safari?
