BIG SAMDan,
You can reach Mike Brady at (307) 436-2726.
I am using these bullets exclusively in everything I have that is .30 cal. or above. The .375 and .416 performed perfectly on my hunt in Tanzania.
Mike will be more than happy to talk with you about his product and knows his 'stuff' about ballistics. These are one of the few bullets that don't keep shedding lead the faster you push them. They keep the weight and keep on driving.
These are both accurate as well as great performing. Ray Atkinson turned me on to them and I haven't looked back. I believe that you will like them too.
All the best,
Sam

ScottSI'll have to get some of their 300 gr .411" bullets for the 405 Winchester. Hornady's 300gr FP is "unsafe at any speed".
BIG SAM, what kinda velocities were you driving them at?

BIG SAMScott,
The .416 Rigby is a 370gr. bullet that was driven @ 2500 fps.
The .375 H&H is a 300 gr. bullet that was driven at 2550 fps. It was my back-up to the .416 and was so loaded for BUFF. I used it on my Zebra and warthog. Spine shots that went through both and exited both animals.
The .416 also made spine shots. One was recovered in the off shoulder after going through the right shoulder blade, spine and was stopped in the off shoulder skin. It retained approx. 88% + of it's weight. 80 yard shot. I sent it to Mike for inspection and the bullet is on his web site. The other .416 was through the front of the cervical spine and was not recovered by the skinners. 60 yard shot. It was somewhere in the body. I even offered a reward! I could put three fingers into the spine where the bullet entered.
I am next going to try his .375 bullets in 250 gr. for my Leopard hunt. If they are accurate, and I suspect that they will be, Mike says that they are not too hard for the smaller game. He developed them for Elk, etc. Always tell him what your intended game will be, and he will set you up with the correct bullet.
Good luck and contact me if I can be of further assistance.

ScottSThanks! I will most definitely have to give the 300 gr .411" bullet a try in the ol' 405 Winnie.
