Okay, Folks let's alter this topic just a tad. I have read most of the posts and find the discussion very stimulating. Using the same general parameters i.e., Buffalo, heavy bullets and moderate velocities, can you translate all the comments to the 450 Marlin in a 10" barreled Eagle Arms BFR handgun? I will be heading for Mozambique in the not too distant future with buffalo as the main objective. In trying to sort out what I wanted to carry I considered the 375 H&H, 458 WM, 460 Weatherby or the 450 3 1/4 N.E. in a double and had more or less settled on the latter. That was before I had a sit down conversation with the outfitter/PH with whom I intend to hunt. During the course of the conversation he discovered that I owned a BFR and stated, "I would like you to use that!" I am interested in your thoughts. Also, regardless of whether or not I decide to honor the PH's request/suggestion I would also be interested in any 500-510 grain loads any of you have worked up in this chambering.
Thanks for your thoughts.
