to use in Africa on the lion. The 510 GNR likes the 350 grain bullets, mainly a jacketed soft point on the left but also likes the 350 grain hard cast from Montana Bullet Works. I have no idea who made the JSP as the box wasn't marked but it is accurate.

The 3rd one from the left is a 429 GNR and a Sierra 210 grain bullet. The gun likes that one but I don't think it is a good one for a 600 lb lion so that will probably change.

The main cartridge for longer range is the 378 GNR with the 260 Accubond bullet. I have taken a gazillion critters in Africa with that bullet but I am not sure it is the right bullet for a lion, so that may change. I have some time (not much) to do some testing.
