.458 SABI
« on: September 27, 2003, 09:41:20 PM »
Doesn't this make you want to come to Africa??
I am building a .458 SABI rimless nitro express on a original obendorf standard action, it is a new proprietry cartidge from sabi rifles in ZA. It launches a 525gr @2400fps and a 550gr @2250fps, with a possible 500gr @2550 if you are so inclined. My first hunt will probably be a Kudu or Bluewidebeest in May 2004.

Barnes makes a nice 600gr premium bullet the 458 make your choices so wide. The 450gr barnes ex might even be a big bore springbuck rifle hehe!

Just think of all the load development, hmm, intresting.

Have fun
Come experience the mysterious dark continent!

I shot some of the 600gr barnes and did not like what was left when I recovered it. RNS
