No recovered bullets.
They must have done the job well as all animals were one shot kills except the Gemsbuck and that was my fault with the 1st shot much too high. Fartherest any ran was approx 50 yards only 2 animals. Most were dropped on the spot. On game shots ranged from 150 to 480 yards lazer rangefinder measured. Monkeys were not but ranged from 80 to over 350 yards and were fun(pest) shooting. Took Gemsbuck/Kudu/two Blue Wildebeest/Springbuck/two Impala/Waterbuck/Blesbuck/six Warthogs(some fun/camp meat shooting) and probably 30 monkeys(pest control).
The load was 225gr Swift A-Frame bullets. Win brass trimmed to uniform lenght, In and outside chamfered, primer pockets uniformed, flash hole deburred and weighted to all be within 1gr. Win mag primers. Powder was 71grs of IMR4350. AV 2834FPS, ES 22, SD 9 for a 5 shot cloverleaf group at 100 yards. This was repeated several times with like results.
