.600 Nitro Express - Another video

[Brian]

The 600 NE is not "inconsequential" as far as I am concerned. Brian

I watched the video a couple of times. It just doesn't make sense to me.
- Beautiful rifle, for sure.
- I have used CEB Bullets, as used in the video, in my .577 NE and .50-110 Win. at lower velocity than Buffalo Bore Ammo advertises and they really knock cape buffalo down on the spot.
- I guess the range in the video to be 70 yds.
- To me it does not look like the recoil of a standard 600 NE load.
- I am a bullet nerd and am very curios what is going on in this video.

Does this video make you want to run out and buy some Buffalo Bore Ammo?

Notwithstanding the video, Buffalo Bore Ammunition has been around for over 30 years and I’ve found it to be 100% reliable, well made ammunition with which I’d “bet my life on” in use against DG. I really like that they manufacture a variety of high quality big bore African cartridges with some great bullets which is wonderful if one doesn’t handload.

I respect your opinion and believe you are generally correct but their have been some ooops when it comes to BB ammo.

I’ve seen video of collectors trying to shoot vintage guns in obscure calibers and they wouldn’t cycle the guns consistently enough for competition because of way under spec velocity, confirmed by chronograph.

I will give it to them though; their willing to load ammo the otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Oddly enough I remember an old post from years ago from a new member on here that was allegedly looking to buy a .600ne for his private hunting preserve, which I believe was in South Africa…… I’m wondering if there is a connection to that completely random post and this video.

Still, I’m yet to see a video with a .600ne used effectively on either buffalo or elephant; seems to always end up in a rodeo.

@redled whole heartedly agree in the scope bolt gun being essential for buffalo in what looked more akin to goat country; I can only hope some day my .404J will be completed but I’m also confident I could have made that shot all day with my .470 and RMR 1moa.

FYI, there’s a .600 coming up for auction shortly on Proxibid. It’s a VC, if I recall correctly.
