    Those look textbook.

    I have been using bullet of similar constuction (Rhino Solid Shank) for many years.
    I think it's the best way to make a hunting bullet. Nothing else I have used puts game down the way these things do.

    I've been busy with load development on my 300WM using the 180gr SBC.
    Did test loads yesterday with a chrony. Rudi adjusted the data and gave me a load to use.

    This was the first 3 shots at 100m with a bit of a wind. These bullets are really accurate.
    Can't wait to do more testing on game at range

    I have tested Safari Bullet Company's bullets in a 7x57, .30-'06, 9.3x62, .375 H&H and .416 rem mag and experienced excellent accuracy in all calibers. Performance on game is also excellent. We are really fortunate to have hunting bullets of this quality available from a local producer who also offer superb, personal service in helping with load developement.

    That's an endorsement of note coming from whence it does. Good work Rudi! Great to have one of our own making the highest quality for us right here.

    Good hunt this weekend.

    L-R 150gr 308W TSX @2860fps mv into sternum of a wildebeest bull @130m

    400gr Aframe 404J @2280fps mv into chest of a Hartmann’s Zebra @60m

    400gr Aframe 404J@2280fps mv through both shoulders of a Kudu bull quartering to slightly @60m

    All bullets worked hard but did the business.

    Thanks for posting. Did you weigh those bullets by any chance?
