Re: A Mauser 10.75x68 Oberndorf Model B Safari rifle comes home

I read Kenneth Anderson wrote more about Maneaters and rogue elephants than ever he hunted. Certainly his rip roaring yarns are enjoyable but can be hard to believe.

Never heard of his son before. Interesting.

Regarding forums. They're aren't echo chambers. Where all one will hear, or read is one's own beliefs and agreement with them.

Some might actually like the excessive velocity of a .460 Weatherby Magnum. Others might prefer the quiet efficiency of a .450/400.

Regarding the 10.75x68. assuming Woodleigh continues with both bullets? I note Woodleigh made a 347 gr for the 10.75 and a different 350 gr for the .404. The latter is recommended for 300 fps higher velocities, up to 2,600 fps. I'm guessing the jacket of the 350 gr RNSN is heavier than the 347 gr.

Moot point if Woodleigh doesn't remake one or both again in the future? Well see. I think a lot of less demanded bullets might disappear. I hope the 350 gr .404 is still made. I'd prefer a 75% 300 gr .404 anyway. I've never seen the point of a 400 gr and then such a close weight of 350 gr for plains game. Just use the 400 gr for everything. But I'd consider using the 350 gr .404 bullet in the 10.75.

One other factor is barrel rifling twist. Are the rifling twists of the 10.75 and .404 the same? This also has bullet choice impact. Perhaps Buckstix knows for his new rifle?
