Re: 7mm 140 gr Hydro-Solid .284" - Who has used these?

Hey guys I wasn't promoting the use of a 22Rf or 455 Webley as suitable cartridges to take on large game but just pointing out they these sort of cartridges are quite capable of dropping a cattle beast or buffalo if using a bullet that will penetrate to the brain or neck. In the hands of a good shot a 22RF solid would possibly be capable of doing this at the 45m range that Mick shot using a 308 150gr Hydro. My question was that to get a comparison of bullet performance you need you know where the bullet was placed.
The fact that Mick dropped his buffalo on the spot at 45m with a Hydro doesn't tell us much as we don't know where he hit the beast. I’m assuming for a DRT shot he must have done a brain or spine shot? Most any bullet will do that.

BTW the cattle beast I shot with my Webley using a cast 250gr at about 650fps had a broken leg and was standing quietly 3 or 4 metres away in a river bed. I head shot it dropping it on the spot. Although I shot a few goats and a couple of red deer with the Webley, I would no more promote it as a buffalo cartridge than a 22RF when hunting in the wild but both are capable of dropping a large beast under the right circumstances with the right shot.

To give the Webley it’s due I would take some comfort from having it on the hip in case anything ever went wrong when hunting dangerous animals, certainly for cats and buffalo if you can get a head or neck shot at close range the 455 Webley is more than capable of turning their lights out, better than a knife.
