Reeder Custom Guns - I have a call into John, our PH for the lion hunt

asking him which bullet that I have here at the shop and at home would be the best bullet for the African lion. I have talked to him before and for sure he said no solids. So I have several choices...
Nosler Accubond 260 soft point
Hornady 300 grain round nose soft point
Hornady 270 grain round nose soft point
Barnes P.O.S.
Nosler Partition 260 grain soft point
Hornady 270 grain soft point Interlock
and maybe a couple of other choices at home. For you other 4 lion hunters, I will pass along the choices in the type of bullet for the lions. Not necessarily the same brand but the type of bullet he recommends.

Game Expanding bullet. I don't have any of those next door at the gun shop but may have some at home.

3 years ago in .458 on my first Cape Buffalo and it put him down with one shot, so it is a great bullet for dangerous game.

467GNR encore pistol. And I have Hornady GDX 470NE factory ammunition for the mega beast #1 for a back up gun. I rembered you talking about using the GDX in the 450GNR on your first monster Cape buffalo. So I figure it would be the best option, and they where available, so even better.

his first choice is the Hornady DGX, or Dangerous

that is a great bullet. That is what I used

The Hornady 500gr .475 GDX is what I am using in the
