HiBen,
I thought you maybe interested in Woodleighs reply to my question of whether THEY had a preferance between 410 gr SN and 450gr SN for Northern Territory buffalo. Their reply appears below....

Unless you are a heavy bullet fan, there is no need for the 450gr.
The heavier bullet does increase penetration, but also kicks more.
It is really a personal choice. I would be happy with either bullet.
It is best to use a SN for first shot, and solids for follow up shots if necessary.
Regards,
Geoff McDonald.
