I am wandering about the performance of these bullets and would like to try them in an inminent water buffalo hunt ...

Has anyone had the opportunity to try them and form an opinion as to performance compared to say, the Woodleigh 400gr or 410gr?

WOuld their controlled expansion be sufficient enough to have proper needed penetration on water buffalo ?

Surely there are much better options, but they are the only choice I have to use wth my own reloaded .416 RM cartridges ... perhaps I might need a charge stopper and I was wondering if they could be consider so ...

I always opt to let someone else try new soft point bullets on buffalo...I suppose if you back them up with a good solid you will find out how good they are and let us know...

I will say that the relitively new Nosler 400 gr. 416 Rem bullet is one of the best bullets that I have ever used on Cape Buffalo and I have shot a dozen or so with them...

I attempted to destroy some of the new Hornady soft nosed bullets this past year by fireing them into rock banks and found out while they can be bent into tangled messes they are well bonded and remain togeather very well. In strict penetration tests they worked as well as any bullet made. I personally would have no qualms using them.
