The rifle is new to me so I have not hunted with it. I had always wanted to have a Nyati built but this came along and I was in a position to buy it. I plan to run it at the original 577 NE performance rather than what it’s fully capable of. I still have one of my 577 3” BPE rifles that I hunt with. I know these cartridges are far apart in performance, but I’ve always liked the caliber. I would think it would be relatively easy to find 650gr cast or Woodleigh load to hunt stateside just to get some time in the field with it. Hope to someday have a chance to use it as it was originally intended.
