Anyone use their 416 or 375 with the ESP Safari Raptors on deer, hogs, elk or plainsgame? What was the result? | ||

I haven't used the ESP version , but The Safari Raptor in 225gr is devastating on hogs and I will use it this fall on whitetail.. I used the 325 gr raptor or BBW#13 as it was know on zebra kudu, impala and buffalo. great one shot kills---did use insurance shot with solid on buff "The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane."

The only thing I have not had complete penetration on was the buff- he moved just as I shot and it ended up being a 3/4 angle shot from the rear-shredded his liver and one lung found base under skin on far side. PS I forgot--this was in a 416 B&M running the 225gr raptor @2950 fps 325 gr @ 2500 fps "The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane."

I have used the Safari Raptors in both the .416 and the .375 and have had excellent results with both. The 350 gr .416 for a buffalo. Dramatic results, and the 270 grain in the .375. It is definitely a Plains game killing machine. As well it should be. | |||

Awesome! I ordered two boxes of each size for 375 and 416. I am going to try and get them loaded in the next week or two. | |||

As long as you are not using for Dangerous stuff, give the 180gr Flat Base .416 a try. 75gr RL7 for a starting load in the 416 Rem yields about 3000fps. Safe pressure, room for lots more velocity.
