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.

Have got some 450 gr on order.....just to see how they go. Do you have any load data in 416 Rigby?
Hope this helps.

Does the heavier bullet kill big critters deader than the 410-400 grain bullet?

I'd be a huge hypocrite if I pretended to be something other than a heavy bullet fan. As I sit here drinking my breakfast coffee I find myself contemplating two boxes of 320 grain cast lead bullets that need to be stuffed into my .44 Mag.

But on the other hand I'm a big fan of one rifle, one load.

Is the 450 grain bullet so much more of a killer I should mess up my system?
