    The Rigby .416 – A Proper Buffalo Rifle

    Heading to SA next summer for PG with Philip Bronkhorst Safaris. I have owned a CZ550 in 416 Rigby for several years, with the intent of taking a buffalo in Africa. Depending on health and finances, it'll more than likely happen in the next few years. Great story and beautiful animal, Waidmann's...

    Still Experimenting Loads for the 280 AI

    Ummmmmm, I tried some 160 HPS out of my 280AI (24" bbl) with N555 and got pressure signs right on the first shot. Never tried anything else with those bullets. N560 will be a little too slow burning. I'm currently testing some 145 HHT (Hammer Hunter Tipped) in my 280AI and have found N550 to be...

    Woodleigh 30cal 165 grain picture

    This is what worked in my Tikka T3 Stainless Lite in .30-06 SPR and Woodleigh bullets in 165 to 240 gr PPRN. Target squares are 1", so, if you do the math with 100 yds being the zero distance................. Good luck and stay safe!

    30-06 mono bullets?

    I have tried Barnes bullets in my rifles. They performed well and as designed, with good accuracy in most rifles. I say good because, for the most part, I could achieve MOA. For the most part, the best I could achieve was 1" to1 1/2" groups with them, plus a bunch of copper on the lands. I have...

    416 Rigby Sell Me On It

    Have not gone to Africa yet. Once my financial situation clears up, I should be able to go, but that could still be a few years away. Otherwise the 416 Rigby is ready to go with some 410 gr Woodleigh softs and solids. Also picked up some Norma Barnes 400 gr brass solids from an estate sale for...

    .45 ACP recommendations

    Been reading this for a minute. You say you are a shotgun and rifle guy. How accurately do you shoot those weapons? Do you shoot them better because they fit you? If they do, then pistols are the same. What is comfortable in your hand and proper grip, should shoot best for you. You also...
