.416 RM Winchester 70 Safari Express (pre 64)

Hello, What is the interest to boost these ammos? My preference : .416 Rem Mag...

Get manufactured ammo with the same characteristics than your own load to compare. I was the owner of a 1500 Howa 300WM, No problem. I was shooting upto 220 yds (200m), under MOA of course. From time to time (expansive) I used Sako Racehead OTM 175 grs. This way you will see if you have a...

9.3x64 is better than .375 H&H ... but ... it's very, very difficult to buy it, even here in Europa ... RWS and Sologne and ...?

.416 Rem (Winch 70 Safari, Sako? maybe) is equal to .416 Rigby but cheaper... better than .375 H&H or 9.3x62 for bufs but the recoil is not easy to manage.. For cats 9.3x62 is perfect. (338Winch Mag ?)

Here, in Europa we use RWS or Brenneke TUG/UNI for very large game like Attila Boar Turkey [293 grs, 2428fps] Evo [290grs, 2395fps], very closed to .375H&H, Norma from 231 to 285 grs , GECO (owner RWS) 255grs-2559fps, Sako, Sologne and Hornady, Federal. Longtime ago I was owner of an 9.3x64...

Yes, sure, it's the same in Europa with our games, but here I speak about Africa Hunts. Maybe a good choice ? Norma offers : Oryx 325grs ... I think we can trust in it. isn't it?

I agree !! + Federal PRVI are bad just for the range : too slow, bullets are "old fashion"

I have owned a Winch 70 Safari .416 Rem .... fabulous ! Scoped with a Leupold low magnification : accurate to 150 yds and more. if you pull up the recoil is not violent, dry as the .338wm, it is similar in nature to the 375hh, more flexible, slower.

I think you 're right.

hello, few years later ... News, please, about your Howa 1500 300WM ..

Same opinion than Matt ... next step 416RM ... Winch 70 Safari Express. Next next step 458Lott ???... :whistle:

Picture 5 . Another look at .. somewhere (Australia, Africa ..else ..).... maybe the most beautiful, Calm and serenity. It just lacks sounds and heat.
