Had a HH Royal in .465. Shot several buffalo with it. Ammo is hard to find. Wonderful rifle.

If anyone here is looking for 500/465 ammo, I have access to 11 boxes of Kynoch soft points and 6 boxes of solids. I'm out of the country until 9/20, but send me an email, or PM after that date.
tfmurphy3@yahoo.com. Price will be around $75 per box of five new production rounds.
