It's just bullets, not rounds. You can buy them directly from Peregrine: https://peregrinebullets.co.za/

Isn't there a company selling loaded ammo with Peregrine's?
Same for the Dzombo solids AFAIK

This is what I could find after a quick Google search https://discreetballistics.com/shop/hotline/ unfortunately not in South Africa.

I know Peter Wells has someone loading Dzombos. Under correction, it may be Diplopoint. I am sure I have seen them loading Peregrine's as well

Guys, there's a guy named Peter going as Viper bullets, he's also making expanding monos in brass and copper and IIRC, his price is decent, around R600/50 for .308 in HP copper with drive bands . He also said that he can custom make anything for a client with his CNC machine.

A .458 bullet with a BC of .628 and an Enhanced System Projectile that:

"is specially designed to deliver a progressive impact on game. The first is on impact, another when the wound channel expands with the second step, a third when the third meplat enters and cuts a passage in the tissue, the fourth as the wound channel expand. The fifth when an almost calibre-size hole is punched through skin and bone. It cuts a calibre size wound channel right rough the body and leaves two large openings for bleeding out."

Sounds rather odd to me.

Sounds like a sensational selling point. Besides, a "caliber sized hole" really isn't the best argument for a hunting bullet I've ever heard. You really want it to expand, and stop inside the animal. Energy dump. That's what you want.

I agree that it sounds like a sensational selling point. I do not believe that a bullet with multiple cutting shoulders will achieve anything that a bullet with a single cutting shoulder of full bullet diameter will not achieve.

Normally I do want a bullet to expand. I do not necessarily want it to to stop in the animal. Certainly not if the animal is a springbok standing perfectly broadside. Even on larger antelope, a bullet that stops in an animal standing broadside, without it breaking heavy bone, is probably not going to penetrate sufficiently in an animal standing at an extreme angle. I do not believe that energy dump have any meaningful effect in terminal performance. Plus a bullet that exits mostly leave a much better blood spoor, should you need to track the animal after it was shot.
