expanding higher velocity bullets for lion (that can penetrate). One "expert" claimed the .338 Winchester and even the .300 Mags were possibly superior to the .375 H&H for most Lion shooting.

I took some special .510" 300 gr. JSP bullets for my .510 revolver to AK. George did not want us using cast bullets as "primary" shooters on bears. They also are said to react more to high vel. impact. I found I could drive the 300 gr. to 1600 fps in the .510 GNR 6.5" revolver! But I could not hang onto the #5 gripframe at the same time. I probably still have some faint scars from the Bisley hammer hitting the web of my hand. I finally duct taped a pad there! Boy did it get me to flinching. I settled on 1300 fps for the hunting load.

The bullets were modern designed for the .50-95 Winchester. I also found some pure copper jacket and lead semi-custom .510 bullets in both 300 and 350 gr.

You have some time to get comfortable with the idea. But Lions are not TN hogs!
