North Fork Premium Hunting Bullets

Thank you for your posts @wildcatter82. Could you please clarify what your relationship is in regards to North Fork?
Thank you for the question. I am one of the US partners with North Fork Technologies, as well as an approved "responder" to inquiries here on AH. I have yet to get the company information on my profile, so my apologies if any confusion.
 
I have only one buffalo under my belt but the NF 400gr SS and 400 CS performed flawlessly in my opinion. NF will be my bullet of choice moving forward on any DG hunt.

I don't think you'll ever be disappointed in these bullets if you're able to finally get them and get loads developed. I find whatever powder seems to work with my rifles in other bullet types, it will work well with the North Fork bullets too. And usually with a grain or two less to achiever similar velocity and accuracy.

I've recovered any number of the bonded core softs in various calibers used to take any number of African game. When recovered it's alway the same old boring perfect mushroom with high weight retention.

Just wrapping up my first foray into North Forks with the 180 grain Spitzer in my .30-06. The barrel always groups best that weight of both cup-n-core and bonded bullets between 2,700 and 2,750 fps.
Using the Swift reloading manual #2 for the A-Frame it appears from my testing there's only a ~1/2 grain powder difference between both bullets for best groups. I'll take the North Fork load on this season's cow elk hunt and try it out on big bone.

Next up will be working up a load for the .366 250 grain Spitzer at right close to 2,550 fps.
 
Just waiting on that shipment of spitzers in .366 & .375 to make their appearance....
 
When will Northfork make 570gr or 600gr softs for .510? I love NFs and I'd like to use them in my 500NE.

We are in the process of developing a .510 SS bullet. We have heard several requests for this specifically. In the mean time, I shoot the 570gr CPS in both my Nitro and Jeffery with great performance on game. Thank you for your interest! ~Jay NF

We are awaiting the final paperwork/permits for shipment. Hope to get it in the air by Thursday next week. Unfortunately this has taken much longer here recently, like most things it seems. We apologize for the delay....will get these on the ground in the US as soon as possible!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS FOR MY RIFLE, ALWAYS APPROACH A NEW LOAD CAUTIOUSLY!!*
Rifle is a Pierce long action, 32" 1:8.5 twist Swan{Au} barrel
{You will want a 1:8.5 to run the heavies but can get away with a 1:9}
Peterson .280AI brass, CCI 200 primers, 56.5gr of 4831SC, 184gr Berger Hybrid.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
