The 416 strikes again! Another great Zim dugga boy
July 31st, 2012Paul scored on a great buffalo and numerous other game with North Fork 416 400 gr softs and solids.
“Hey Guys,
Paul scored on a great buffalo and numerous other game with North Fork 416 400 gr softs and solids.
“Hey Guys,
North Fork created the Percussion Point (PP series) specifically for large felines. The bullet features an expansion initiating groove near the tip of the bullet that aides the bullet in opening quicker on thin skinned animals like leopards, lions etc… The groove is visible and can be felt allowing positive confirmation that you have the proper load for the proper game. The Percussion Points are designed to hit at the same point of impact as our standard soft points and solids allowing you to take one gun to really do it all.
As always, have confidence with North Fork!
Just returned from Zimbabwe. Used the 458 Lott on everything. The 500 gr flat point solids were incredible on the elephant. One shot with the 500 gr soft point on the buffalo.

My son, Bret and I were shooting on Aboriginal land in the outback of the Northern Territory. Feral buffalo are numerous and they are doing substantial environmental damage. If the buffalo and the other feral introduced species are not removed, Australia will be faced with a highly degraded landscape. Although individual efforts are of minimal significance in the overall effort to extirpate the estimated 500,000 buffalo in the northern territory, we tried to do what we could…
Our rifles we a wildcat .41 caliber bolt action loaded with the 360 gr North Fork Soft Point and a 500/416 Nitro Express Krieghoff double rifle equipped with a Doctor Optik red dot sight loaded with 400 gr North Fork Soft points. We took 40 rounds for each rifle and another 50 rounds of 375 cal. North Fork Soft points for our outfitter’s backup 375 JRS.
In all we killed 40 buffalo…(all meat harvested for consumption). The rifles and bullets performed perfectly…This was our second trip to Australia using North Fork soft points. The bullets perform so consistently, and shoot so accurately in our rifles that I can’t imagine seeking superior performance from any other bullet. I am a believer.

Sam Kourdas utilized North Fork cup points in a Butch Searcy 470 Nitro Express for a couple of buffalo and a Chapuis 9.3X74 for a lion and a roan. Nice job and wish I were there!



Dave Jensen and his son experienced a great hunt in Australia culling water buffalo and taking a nice trophy bull in the process with his 500/416!

416 bullets recovered from various buffalo

After a couple of good hits from a hunters bullets(Not North Forks). A .416 370 Gr. North Fork ended the drama.
Attached is a photo of two North Fork .458 450 grain solids(from 458 Win mag). One of them was a Texas heart shot on a Cape buffalo and broke the front shoulder! Also here’s the buffalo and an elephant killed by the same bullets.

John Clader DVM was blessed with a 9′11″ bear in Alaska this spring and a gorgeous Oryx in New Mexico this summer. He utilized our 416 370 gr SS out of a 416 Rem Mag for the bear and our 308 180gr SS from a 300 Win Mag for the Oryx. Well done John!
