Re: Magnificent Lyon & Lyon .450/400 3 1/4" BPE SLE @ Holt's

According to Graeme Wright's 3rd edition page 272 (Eley Brothers 1910-11 cartridge data)
.450/.400 3 1/4inch Magnum: 110 gr BP and 230 gr projectile equals 2000fps and 2041ft.lbs energy at muzzle.
A heavier projectile would be better for buffalo. I suspect with a heavier projectile you would have ballistics similar to the .375 H&H 2 1/2 inch nitro.
