I experienced a cracked shell and am in process of having the loader examine the brass to see if we have a pressure problem or a bad piece of brass.

Ever since I was sold this rifle chambered in the H&H .400 I wanted to ask your opinion of this Wildcat cartridge.

I have cartridges loaded with both Woodleigh FMJ and Swift A-Frames ( 400g.)

I also have been advised to hunt dangerous game ( I plan to take it to Africa for Cape Buffalo) with the Swifts as the Woodleighs may not like the velocity of tis round.

I love the rifle and the feel so far.

Bottom line? What is your opinion of my decision to go with the shorter action and .400 H&H vs. the more traditional choice of , say .416 Rigby.

Thank you.

Is there a similar issue with .308 vs 7.62 in military arms? I shoot an FN FAL-LAR, semi-auto, Belgium made from Gun South. I would like to see a note or similar article on the issues.
