I picked up a few of these for a good deal.
I would imagine I could drive these along at a pretty good clip in my 416 Rem. Anyone have experience with these on Buffalo? or any African game? Would they work on Leopard? I looked at the website, but still don't know exactly what they where designed for. Are they more of partition type bullet that will shed it's front?

thank you

While I have not hunted with them I loaded them to 2825 fps in my 416 Rigby.

I have heard very good things about the bullet on Buffalo in Africa as well as Australia. There are many discussions on the subject in the archives.

I have shot several plains game species with them from my 416 Ruger. The largest being a blue wildebeest. All other animals were pass through but on the wildebeest we found a perfectly mushroomed bullet on the opposite side just under the skin. I believe they would work very well on cats.

The PP soft nose bullet is recommended by Woodleigh as very suitable for the dangerous cats especially if range varies a bit. They apparently open a little slower than their round nose type and are recommended as an all round bullet.
This information is in their catalogue which is downloadable on their website.

I used them about maybe 10 years ago, shot PG including Eland with them and I later shot an elk with them...They worked just fine at almost 2800 FPS...I don't know why I quite using them, so many bullets, so little time I guess. They make the 416 as flat shooting as most guns, As I recall they shot as flat as my 30-06 and my 300s it seemed...I quickly learned to hold on hair as I was over shooting a lot...I also have used the 350 gr. bullets, I think they were early Barnes X and they worked on Buffalo real well, and of course they worked on PG, bullets that big usually do..Ross Seyfried talked me into trying them..Both bullets performed very well indeed.
