Mike,

Yeah, you are right, and they are shooting beer cans, dirt clods, rocks, etc with them for the most part. To which offense I heartily plead guilty! To illustrate what an offender I am, I will tell you that since buying my .500 Nitro last April I have shot several hundred rounds through it, but have drawn no blood! Paper targets and "charging" balloons from 50 to 100 yards are my victims. But if you checked Woodleigh's export records you would think that scads of elephant, buffalo, rhino, and the like have met their fate at the working end of my .500.

Seriously, a 6" balloon dangling at 50 to 100 yards is a great offhand target. A fine way to get to know a gun; particularly one that recoils.

I never have tried the 220 flat nose or any other .375 Big Bore bullet in a .375 H&H though.

Nor have I put any .45/70 bullets through the .458 Win Mag I just sold to my buddy.

There are just too many good bullets of proper construction to choose from.

By the way, I hope one day to get to Oz to try the 'roos, goats, pigs, and big critters of the NT. You guys make it sound like a paradise where nobody works and you sally forth every morning with your vintage double rifle to down a nice boar or buffalo before lunch time, then fish the afternoon away for barramundi. Nice life!!!! Is it real? I want in.

Cheers,
Curl
