Have any of you used this bullet on game. It seems to shoot really well in my Sauer and I would be using it on planes game.

They shoot well in my Mauser too, and work on brown bear, so I don't see why they wouldn't be equally effective in Africa, as they are in Alaska.

I've used them for nilgai antelope in south Texas and they worked very well. I would not have a problem using them in Africa. If I can find a link to my thread I will post it here.

Bad idea for Africa.

The mega is a traditional cup and core bullet with a gilding metal jacket.

They will do fine through the ribs, but I would not count on them to go through shoulders, especially on larger anmals.

Sorry, guys, just reread the post and I was using the Naturalis bullet not the Mega. Mad
