Craig Boddington convinced Steven Hornady to restart product of this grand old cartage and I am very glad he did. I bought a Sabatti double rifle in .450/.400 3" Nitro Express , it was my 3rd double rifle and what a joy it is. They were regulated with this Hornady ammunition. Mine shoots 2" groups at 50 yards and has accounted for 4 cape buffalo so far. The 450/400 is plenty powerful enough for buffalo.. With these solid 400 grain bullets , yo'll get a pass through on broad sides shots breaking both shoulders. It can be hard to find the ammo some times so it's a good idea to stock up when you can. The recoil s relatively mild for a big bore about like a .375 H&H I guess that is partly due to te fact most doubles weigh more and absorb the recoil better. I also have a Sabatti in .500 NE, that can be tough shooting at the range for more than 6 shots a day, but the 450/400 can be shot for much longer shooting practice times. Hornady did a good job on this. Just wish the would produce larger quantities.
