They list the Winchester Large Rifle primer.

Forrest, other than the deletion of Scott 4100, replaced by a different load of Acurrate 4100, those loads are the same as in the present Hornady 11th edition manual. They also added a Power Pro 300 load.

Aside from the 2 main reasons that you listed, velocity and multi use in different cartridges with a couple of different bullet weights and or types. Although, for my pet cartridges and their bullets, the multi use function is not a priority. I have some powders, driven by availability...

Some might find this interesting.

This is load data from Federal, for the 416 Remington, Rigby, and Ruger. Federal is a member of SAAMI, we will assume all these loads are SAAMI pressure compliant. Since there is no disclaimer otherwise. As loaded, the same bullet coming out of 3 different 416 cartridges, all are virtually the...

Kind of like Boddington trying to locate the early sources of the 416 Remington extraction issues. Functional rifle and sensible loads eliminate lots of potential issues, regardless of cartridge or rifle. I have loaded the 416 Ruger with the 350 TTSX to ~2560 from a 20" barrel, and shot...

A quick web search shows Sportman's Warehouse and Mid South having 416 Ruger ammo in stock. It is on the shelves here, in at least 3 local stores. It has been pretty available locally. Locally, usually where there was the Remington, there was the Ruger.

The Ruger actually, less SAAMI MAOP than the Remington. Depending on the brass, with the same bullets seated to length for Ruger 3.4" type actions and 416 Remington in a Winchester Model 70 3.6", the case capacities can be less than 2 grains of water difference. I have both. I have shot a few...

Lol, no offense taken. It is, as issued. If I were to replace it, I think I would go with a color case hardened. But, the factory issue is serviceable for me.

I believe Genuine plastic. A Classic Super Express. I think a 1996 model.

I think the 340 Weatherby is a fine cartridge. A buddy of mine killed a very large brown bear with the 340 WBY and a 225 grain Barnes X-bullet. I suppose the popularity is due to the limited brands of factory rifles that it has been chambered in, predominantly Weatherby's offerings...

I am pretty much committed to the Barnes 200 grain TSX. They seemed to group very well out of couple of Kimber Montana's with the DoubleTap factory loads. So, I bought quite a few for hand loading. There was a guy, that use to post of different forums, he was a big 325 fan. I think that he...

There is another report on this forum of using the .458 404 grain Hammer Shock Hammer. And, on another forum the .416 325 grain Hammer Shock Hammer. Frontal shot and the bullet was found in the hip. One shot and done. This may have also been posted by the hunter on this forum. There is...

I would guess about 120 fps less than a 24" barrel. Strictly a guess. I have a couple in the 22-1/2" length range. I have not chronograph'd before or after the cuts. Hopefully this summer, I will.

I have both. I would pick the 416 version for a dedicated dangerous game rifle. I believe with equal designed bullets, similar weight class per caliber; the 416 impacts harder and breaks / busts bone better. Trajectory differences for 200 yards and under are very insignificant in my opinion...

Some folks really like them for such. I have never tried them. I wish Barnes would have rolled the 325 X into the TSX line. Maybe it would have evolved into a TTSX. I started with the 350's was very pleased with the accuracy and performance. Though, I always though a 325 mono might be a...

I cannot speak to the 416 Rigby specifically. But, the 350 grain TSX out of a 416 Ruger has performed excellent on a couple of moose for me. I am also just beginning working with the 350 TTSX, Hammer Bullets 325 grain Shock Hammer, and the CEB 325 grain Maximus.

Call Talley direct. I have ordered directly from them several times, when I could not find what I was looking for at a retailer.

The factory Classic stainless 375 H&H's were pretty popular in Alaska when in production. It appears they remain so, on the used market. They are great candidates for barrel swaps to 416 Remington & the .458's.

Those are definitely hauling-ass !!

Those Buffalo Bore loads, with the 350 grain TSX and the Lehigh 350 grain solid, are definitely not lacking in the velocity department. The Lehigh solid is a bit more pointed than I care for. I would have liked a wider meplat on that bullet. Something closer to CEB's 350 grain Safari Solid'...

Congratulations! That is a potent load.

Very nice ! And, that is an understatement!

I have been a 375 RUM fan from a far. I don't own one, though appreciate its ballistics. A Winchester M70 classic stainless would definitely tempt me.

Your entire post was most interesting to me. As many of us, I am a firearms enthusiast and have several different rifles in various cartridges. I have not used a 338 Winchester in several years. But, I still believe if I went to a single cartridge to cover North American size and type game from...

I am expecting similar velocity with the 325 Shock Hammer & CEB Maximus from a 20" 416 Ruger. I also anticipate very similar terminal performance.

As to the rifles themselves, I would not be surprised or shocked if either needed a bit of smoothing out to feed certain bullets. I only have one CZ which is in 458 Lott / 458 Winchester with a synthetic stock. The prior owner had sent it to AHR. In its present configuration, I like the rifle...

The 416 B&M with the 325 Shock Hammer at 2600 fps, should make an impact.

Fyi, I see another Federal "discontinued" listing of the .416 400 grain Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer Solid, listed as a 1.380" length. Not sure which one is the current. I don't see a product number for either. I wonder if that length was a typo, or for the older non grooved version ?

Additional load data from Federal's site for comparison. Per Federal info, this bullet is 1.487" in length. I measure about 1.5960" for the 350 TTSX. A difference of about .109" longer for the TTSX. But, my COAL is about .100" longer than they are seating this 400 grain. Plus the boat tail of...

He may or not, be using a powder not available to over the counter sales. I have some of the TSX loaded for comparison to equal charges of the TTSX. The shorter flat base TSX, may very well exceed the velocity of the longer TTSX boat tail, with the same powder charge. But, winter weather has...

I think, a consistent 1 MOA rifle load is pretty dang good. It does not seem like in too ancient of history, that 1 MOA was the sought after accuracy in a hunting rifle.

I am using the 2000-MR with the 350 TTSX. I referenced the Speer #15 also. My velocity goal was 2500 fps out of my 20" barrel. What I did not have was the actual Speer bullet to visually compare. I am going to try and order some for actual comparison purposes. I am most certainly not saying...

Did Whoopi survive for the winter sleep?

My local store has the current Alaskan model. The stainless with Hogue stock, muzzle brake, it's non-ported replacement, and thread protector.

My local firearms emporium has sold quite a few of these in his shop. Their second order inventory from the distributor is almost gone.

Per his article: " By that time, the dimensional specs for the .375 Ruger had been registered with SAAMI, so what little changes had to be extrapolated from those specs to arrive at the reamer and chamber dimensions for a .416 version were easily computed. Ditto for the reloading aspect. A...

I have seen another chronograph report of the 2650'ish fps average of these loads from a 20" barrel. My load work is paused until winter is done. I would be very content in the 2550 fps range with that bullet. I am still playing with the 350 grain TTSX. I have loaded it to 2560'ish average...

By Jon Sundra, in an article that was published in Shooting Times magazine, wildcatting the 375 Ruger prior to the 416 Ruger introduction. "Included with the Redding dies was a tapered expander that allowed me to neck up the .375 Ruger brass to .416 inch in one pass. I then sized the necked-up...

That load is impressive. I have not seen any of those in my local area. I was interested in running some across the chronograph. Thanks for sharing the info on this and the Hornady. I am a fan of the 416 Ruger cartridge.

Dang that one appears fairly large. As for the bullet to continue at least somewhat on target.

Correction on the year model of my Argo, it is a 2012. I confused it's year model with a Mudd-Ox that I had.

Yep, the ol 6x6 site was a wealth of information!! Knock on wood, I have only had Very minor issues. But, I do not drive like I stole it, or attempt 4-wheeler ground speed. I maintain the greasing, transmission, engine, and chain oil.

I have had Max IV, Mudd-Ox, this Argo, and 4-wheelers. I like this 8 wheel Argo the best. My Max was great. I had the big tires and the little one with tracks. But, for hauling and hill stability, I like the 8 wheel Argo with tracks.

I agree fully on the Argos are slooowwww compared to 4-wheeler type vehicles and more noise. Hard pack, rocks, and exposed roots they give the body a beating at slow speed. But, in the Muskeg it is like the rabbit and tortoise. I usually take a coffee break every hour or two.

This past year's moose hunt. Not successful as to killing. But, had a great time, even though it was an extremely Rainy time. And that is considering it is usually always Wet there. Winters have been tough on the local moose.

I have a 2010 HDI, that I bought new. It is the 8 wheel model. I have only ran it with Argo rubber tracks. The bottom 2 pictures are from 2023. The first picture is a prior. I use it ever year for moose hunting. Edit: the bottom picture was winch-time. That is a very bad hole. Without the...

I have seen one locally. I believe it was priced a little under 1500 USD.

The above first sentence should have included muzzle velocity. I am highly partial to monolithic bullets. I try to ensure that my maximum expected impact will be within their effective design range. The above .375 calibers, I chose 250 yards, because 230 yards is probably my absolute maximum...
