Guys, I am wondering if anybody has any favorite bullets for really big game-Cape Buff, Bison, Big Russian Boar, ect. to use in my Freedom Arms 83. I have been looking at the Barnes Buster and Punch Bullet, but don't have any real world experience with either. ______________________ Age and Treachery Will Always Overcome Youth and Skill | ||

Punch for buff, Cast Performance SWC for everything else. I used Cast Performance on water buff and rhino in .475 Linebaugh. Bullets deformed some which retarded penetration. I've not used my .454 on really big stuff since I have the .475 and .500, but I'd do Punch bullets for buff and Cast Performance on other stuff. They have always done well for me. Larry Rogers | |||

+1 A good hard 300 grain cast bullet will handle most anything. If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

My favorite is the Cast Performance 360 grain WLFN at 1400 FPS. Outstanding performance and easier to at 1400 FPS than 1500 FPS _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

CorBon's Penetrators are very good as well. They have a really big meplat and won't deform when they hit something hard. At .454 velocities I prefer the Punch and Penetrator as it is easy to overdrive a cast bullet (they work perfectly when you slow them down -- that's why I prefer the .45 Colt to the .454).
