not super big on fast twist and will be shooting 400gn or less. The recent 416s are 1:14. Rigby is 1:16.54" . Asquare says 1:10.
I use 1:12 (which gives me 2 complete revolutions in my 24" barrel.

Here's a photo of Tony receiving that Shaw & Hunter award at the 1970 annual EAPHA Dinner Dance. Tony Dyer, then EAPHA President and Princess (Sunny) von Auersperg presented it. I also attended the event.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ
