I just put a deposit down on a new Parkwest Arms Savannha, but I haven't decided on caliber. It will be either 416 Rem, Taylor or Ruger, I already have a Rem in a Kimber Caprivi, so I would like to get the Ruger or Taylor, less powder needed and less recoil and a shorter action, but I can not find load data anywhere for the Ruger. Does anyone know where to find it or have any they would be willing to share?
Thanks
 
Guess I will. have to get a new manual

Great thanks for your help!!
 
This is from a 416 Ruger out of a Ruger guide gun

Buffalo bore ammo shoots so well out of it that I’m not going to reload

what grain bullet and velocity
 
Open the picture and it will show you underneath. Hundred yards, 400 grain barnes TSX at 2420 ft./s.

The 2420 is a six shot average

16 SD
 
Thanks, I LOVE IT, why get the bigger Rem case.
 

Midway has 416 Ruger brass in stock right now. It's $73 for 50 pieces. Consider buying several hundred pieces now while they're available. Availability is intermittent and that's the only downside I see to this. The accuracy on the 2 416 rugers I own, a Guide gun and an African, is so good that it stopped me from buying the 416 Remington

what grain bullets are you using and what velocity are you getting with what powder charge
 
The Buffalo bore shoots so well that I'm not going to reload for this rifle at this point. I am set up to reload with brass, bullets, dies, etc, but am not sure that I can do better.

Perhaps others will chime in

I use 2000MR with 400gr Barnes (2360 fps) and 400gr Swift (2350 fps).out of a Ruger Alaskan with a 20” barrel.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is kdp59935@gmail.com in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
I am currently in Northern Cape scouting a hunting area, we will have lots of amazing hunting opportunities for 2027! I will post updated available dates soon!

Good Evening. I am very interested in you hunt for the spiral slam. March in 2028 would be fine for me

Couple of quick questions:

1) Can we add some additional species on
2) what do you want for a deposit?
3) how do you want me to sign up

I'm on whats app or email

Kurt [redacted]

have a great evening
