Hello Doug

I am looking at buying one of your 475s. What bullet and at what velocity were the bison and the cape buffalo taken?

Thank You

I shoot one load and that is the Barnes 400 grain TSX at about 2050 FPS. It shoots great, recoil is moderate and it kills everything.
Shot thru the shoulders of the bison at 80 yrds and it will penetrate 36"+- at that range shooting into an animal. Opens to .800 caliber and just works great!! Even on antelpoe it does not destroy meat like the lighter calibers going mach one.


I tend to use more than enough gun.
