Man , you disrespecting my .416 
> Edit < Vikram - it was a joke
Lions are not tough hide and big bone animals , so the bullet may have not expanded as is should have
But it's a half an inch hole to drop any big game animal in it's tracks - Haji

He was talking about bullet failure or not having chosen an appropriate bullet.NOt the calibre.I like the .416 Rigby myself.Hammerhead wrote:Man , you disrespecting my .416

It's where you make that hole, that counts, not the size of the hole.Hammerhead wrote:Man , you disrespecting my .416

1. Bullet placement. 2. Bullet performance. Distant 3. Bullet size.

Re: Postmortem of a Man-eating Lioness Shot
Would post the pics very soon its an awesome one of the best that i have come across in my life, have tried very hard for the cartridges but sadly couldn't find although 9,3x62 is available in india, presently only 1 or may be 3 companies do make the cartridge of which RWS is i am sure that definitely makes it.See the link to know more about the cartridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9.3_x_64_BrennekeVikram wrote:'Haji,
