Reloading for 416 Rigby

[poor English man]

Hi Guys.
Has anyone got an ogive length, cartridge base to ogive length for 416 Rigby using Barnes tsx in a cz550 Africa II rifle?
Many thanks

You have to measure each rifle individually to be exact, most will just give Max Overall Length tip to tip

Thanks Uplander, I understand this, sammi tip to tip doesn't cut the mustard, with the huge difference in bullet lengths.
I've always started loads 10 thou back from the lands. Just wondering if anyone has the measurements from the cartridge base to lands for the cz550.

I reload all my 416 Rigby's (including Barnes TTSX & Solids) to the recommended bullet manufactures COL for each bullet I will be shooting.

In so doing, fitting in the magazine and feeding properly are more likely to work smoothly.

In the end, I find the 416 Rigby very accurate and have no reason to fiddle with COL and getting the bullet closer to the barrel lands.

Just my observation and 2 cents....

I agree, I load to cannelure and crimp, vary powder charge for accuracy

+2 mag in CZ is long so on to cannelure works for me. I crimp using a Lee crimper.
