the 450 GNR are both Hornady bullets, the 350 grain expanding soft nose and the 500 grain solid. And I was pleasantly surprised that at 25 yards they both hit in the same hole. Now if I can get the load up to where it needs to be the gun should be fine for anything in Africa (that I can afford). Right now it is just past the hottest 45-70 load with a 500 grain bullet in the Ruger #1.
