475 Turnbull on Dangerous Game

Does anyone have any experience with this round on dangerous game? If so, what was the outcome. I remember seeing Tony Makris using one on a buffalo on the "Under Wild Skies" series with good results. I wondered if there were similar results with everyone else who may have used one.

Thanks,

jfm,

I have a client hunting buffalo with a 475 Turnbull on the Save with Terry Anders this year. I have to think he will do fine.

I thought Makris used a 405 Winchester?

PM Martin Pieters... he has had a client or two use the Turnbull and was impressed with it's performance. I think the hunter is featured on his DVD The Mopani Collection and shoots buff and elephant with the rifle.

Makris uses a number of vintage rifles and leverguns on Wild Skies including the .405 Winchester and the .475 Turnbull.

I have one of Doug's rifles but have only shot paper up to this point...

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

I personally know Doug. He has banged some big critters with it. Like any other rifle accurate shooting is always important. A bullet in the right place performs miracles.

Use Enough Gun

I believe that Craig Boddington has used it on Buffalo in Moz. Maybe he will chime in.

Have a look at the 475 Turnbull gallery. Lion, Buffalo, Brown bear, ele, etc.

400 grain at 2150 according to the ammo makers. Pretty close to a .470 Nitro --- if the bullets good should work just fine.

you mean, pretty close to a 450/400? the 470 uses a heavier bullet at approx same velocity
