Hi to all
Just want to know if anyone has hunted with this particular rifle in Africa, themodel 70 Winchester 416 rem mag., and have you encountered any problems, the reason being I’m very interested in buying this particular rifle to hunt in Africa at all times of the year, The one major drawback that I have heard and read about is that the ".416 Remington loads have to operate at higher pressure to deliver the same performance as the 416 Rigby. This high pressure has caused trouble in the severe heat often encountered in Africa." I know it gets hot in Africa but what is considered severe? If anyone can give me some feedback that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
