Hello friends. I'm interested in what components you use most often to reload .416 rigby? Powder - primers. I am especially interested in the use of eu powder (viht, reloadswiss, norma, rotw)
I'm also interested in how the hits stack up if several different grains are used at 60-70m/yds?
I mean soft-hard projectils.
Also, I'm interested in how unpleasant the recoil of the 416 is and is there a significant difference with the 458 win mag?
Thanks
 
Load 400gr Swift A-Frames (softs) and 400gr Barnes TSX (solids) over a healthy dose of Viht N560 or Norma MRP, lit by Fed 215s. You will have a load that hits the same spot at buffalo fighting distance, kills absolutely anything on earth, and makes you feel like Robert Ruark every time you pick it up.

Greetings. Thank you for your response. I am interested in these powders and I use them in other calibers. Have you tried this combination and if so, in which rifle? Thanks again

Be careful of hunting Chewore South, the area has been decimated.....


Curious about this. I hunted Chewore South with D&Y in September and they did tell me it was there last hunt there.

Which outfits shot it out?
