Re: .474" solids on game - recovered bullet photos

wyojoe,

The website is www.northforkbullets.com

However, cup nose bullets are not on the website yet. But you can call up via telephone and order them.


Mike,

Your mate should consider a .375 for giraffe. They are bigger than a cape buffalo, and every bit as rugged, strong and tenacious. Personally I do not think that a .308 Barnes X at any velocity is sufficient. If he insists on a .308 bullet, then a solid is the way to go. Even a .458 Lott with softs has been known to fail to penetrate through the shoulder blade.


All that being said, if he slips a bullet between the ribs and does not flub his shot, the giraffe will die just like a buffalo. The other option is to snipe a giraffe's head at long range.
