Swift book says its at 84%. Cannot find any filler use in my books. Thanks

Does anyone use a filler in 416 Rigby. I started working with H4350 and seem to have a lot of empty space in the case. Thanks in advance. Mike

JJ told me keep them clean and a drop of oil once and a while. I had no issues with mine.

I had forgotten to list the bolt fill and straighten.

It is a #1 for sure. Thanks so much

I have been to Africa 3 times but again I am no expert. I reload slowly and carefully. Run all reloads through the guns to be used. Practice with your reloads. I like using once fired brass for mine. I have never had an issue.

That's what I have done on 3 trips. Scope on, bolt in, and double assembled. No problems so far.

No issues during my last trip to Zim. One in each suitcase, one in ammo box, one in rifle case. Will make you nuts at the gate showing 500 yards away when you're looking at the plane watching them load cargo. But no issues.
