I am aware the heavier bullet will have a greater sd and bc..however my for Africa I still so no need for the 450 gr bullet.
MOST shots are closer.. I am already going through a buffalo and a half with what I am using.. and in the event I do have a longer shot, the 400 gr will be flatter shooting..
The only longer shot I have taken with it was the bush buck at 265. Glad I had practised before I went and knew where to hold for 150, 200, and 250 yards with that .416..
