I shot this Black Wildebeast in Namibia on May 16 with my Heym 450/400 at about 80 yards. I plan on posting a trip report this weekend.  | ||

Congratulations 450/400, if you haven't already done so you will learn that you will never be happy without a 450/400 double rifle, and that PH Heym is top of the line of new double rifles! Very nice black willie as well! That is one animal I haven't taken, and have always wanted one, but they simply do not exist where I have done most of my hunting in Africa!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Thanks! I bought it with the intention of hunting buffalo on my next trip, but it came in just before I left for Namibia and had to take it with me. There was no way I was going to Africa and not take it. | |||

That is certainly the first Black Wildebeast taken with a HEYM 450/400. I guess I'll have to get you a plaque for your wall.  PS - Beyond the obvious results, how did the Hornady Soft Point perform? | |||

Good point AzGuy! The Hornady soft point worked like the hammer of Thor. That's all I can say. It's somewhere burried in the Namibian sand. | |||

Amen Dan your preaching to the choir here, I hate carrying a scoped anything especially a DR. Nice shot and results 450-400! "An individual with experience is never at the mercies of an individual with an argument" | |||

Unfortunatly it isn't - you left about a month too late to claim that title. The first African animal taken with one was a bull elephant last month. BUT, I am 100% certain that you have the first Black Wildebeast. | |||

For some reason I doubt Heym made a 450/400 before a few months ago, and certainly not in the last century! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||
