AfrikaanderHornady Interbonds in 416 cal for water buffalo
I posted this inquiry in other forums, but I think I might have more luck in here ...
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 ...

458WinI probably answered your question in another forum as well but from my experience the new Hornady Interbond in .416 is one of the best soft nosed bullets now avaliable and again, from my experience, will give deeper and more reliable penetration than the Woodleighs I have tried.
