    One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

    416 Rigby or 458 Lott. The 458 has a better range of bullet availability but I do enjoy the Rigby. You can never have too much gun IMO

    Any place to buy custom loaded big bore/obsolete ammo anymore?

    Hate to show my lack of staying abreast of info but when did Superior Ammo close? They loaded for me in years gone by when I had my first Lott built.

    Were the Ruger RSM and CZ 550 Safari rifles the two most significant contributors to the 416 Rigby's recent popularity?

    I believe the larger factor of fading DG rifles is the African hunting opportunity’s are diminishing. Time and public opinion will continue to make DG hunting less available and therefore costs even higher. The way of the world today.

    270 grain vs 300grain which is better for cape buffalo and lioness

    The needs are somewhat different you need a well bonded bullet for Cape Buff first shot then solids after that 0and for lion a quicker expander would be preferred. At least by me.Lionnes light frame would lead me to a traditional cut and core at around 2500 fps and 300gr. To keep things simple I...
