Had a good couple of weeks hunting with mates.
Managed to take Buffalo, Banteng, Scrub Bulls, Horses, Pigs, Sambar, Barra and sundries.

Here is a couple of video's of the hunt.

I was using the new ACP projectiles.
I designed the 270 grain .366" bullet used for all these animals.

Congratulations

Some great pics there FB. I couldn't help taking a perv through your Photobucket. Loved your custom stock treatment and collection of Kahles scopes. Not so sure whether the pig with guts hanging out helps our cause, though, even if it has an empirical connection with bullet development.

Why even post such negativity? Shooting game with big calibres means guts do get popped at times...not every shot is a one hole wonder.

No different to cleaning a fish imo.
I do a fair bit of bullet testing and animals are the only way to know how they will preform on animals.

I know what you mean but we cant just give into the do gooders of the world.

Ol, let's see or hear what's special about your bullet design. I'm about to start turning my own coppers on the lathe soon as I heal up enough to get out there.

My idea is pretty much like Saeed's WalterHogs.
Though just a cup nose like the Woodleigh's.

Thanks much, am looking fwd to seeing them.
Great hunt and vids by the way.
George
