Anyone have contact details for Claw Bullets, Ive heard you can order them through the post but cannot find any contact details? Any help would be appreciated. :)

Order from Andre van der Merwe. Tel. no. 043 736 9519 (PE area code I think). You can do a internet transfer and forward the pop for him and he generally post the same day if ordered early or else the next day. You can contact him back for the tracking number and he will also give you the number to call to follow up on your parcel. normally delivered within 2 to 3 days to your nearest post office.

Claw is in East London and their bullets are great.

Are these the same guys that manufactures Rhino or is it the same thing?

**Arnold** · 21-05-2010, 12:28

These are not the same bullets. I think the two guys are brothers if memory serves me correctly.

**Scuba Steve** · 21-05-2010, 13:12

yup, they are brothers, Andre does Claw and the other brother Rhino.

Which would be the better bullet to use? Or which application for each?

The Rhino is tougher than the Claw. The Rhino is also more expensive.

What are you going to be shooting it out of (cartridge/calibre and speed) and what do you intend on shooting?

Claw bullets are core bonded. The inner lead core is chemically fused to the (relatively thick) copper jacket. This type of bullet expands readily, but usually you won’t find core/jacket separation as often the case with standard bullets.
The Rhino bullets start out as a solid copper (actually an alloy) rod. A cavity is drilled about half way into this rod, which is then filled with lead and also bonded with the jacket, before the nose is formed. The front section of the Rhino is thus similar to the Claw, but the rear is a solid copper shank.
When comparing bullets of similar caliber and weight, the Rhinos tend to be slightly longer, due to the solid copper rear shank. The length difference may or may not affect how these bullets stabilize in different rifles.
Both these bullets are excellent South African products and you could not go wrong with either one. I’ve personally used more Rhinos, because I met the owner (Kobus) earlier and his bullets never let me down.
