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...

If there is a possibility of a reschedule for the next year at the same or reduced price, take it!!!!

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...

I've always loaded up Woodleigh PPs, RNs, SNs, and solids. Have not tried the CPs yet.

Love my Tikka T3 SS Lite in 6.5x55 SE. I reload all of my own ammunition for it using VihtaVuori N550 and VihtaVuori N560 as powders; bullets ranging from 85 gr to 160 gr from Sierra, Hornady, and Woodleigh. Everything that I load for that rifle shoots at least MOA using a 3-9x40mm Nikon...

No on the selling it!

I no longer use the Hawk bullets. I went to Accurate Molds and had a mold made for a plain base boolit:

Just because the powder column is so big, anything with a capacity of more than 80 grains should use a magnum rifle primer. I use them in my .416 Rigby along with a very slow burning magnum powder (Vihtavuori Oy N165). Good luck and stay safe!!!!!

$895!?!?!??!?! Jealous here! I had to pay $850 shipped for a used one and then another $180 for a decent stock!!! Don't wait, GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
