Re: Which .416

As to the famed African heat, ask anyone from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona how it bothered them...I will take Africa at its worst compared to presidio, Texas or yuma, Ariz..Hmmm, I have hunted there also...

As to the pressure issue..I say bullshit to that one...if it was, I doubt anyone who is a PH in Africa would go near one..yet there they are..plus, I have never had anything come even close to sticking on mine..I have also been in Africa during some very, very hot weather...not one single problem...




Another interesting thread!

Here on the ranch in the Winter Wonderland {currently buried under 4 feet of snow}, I have blown up two 125 Degree Fahrenheit thermometers during ground squirrel annihilation season in the summer. Here in "frigid" north Idaho {...and in many places all across the USA, for that matter...}, late July thru September can dish out heat that runs neck and neck with or exceeds anything "Africa" can dish out.

Thanks very much for driving that old myth into the ground, RIPP!

Every time I hear somebody point out how horrific the heat and/or humidity is in "Africa", I think; "You haven't made hay in Idaho, built rock fence in Kentucky or swung a hammer on a framing crew in South Jersey"...

As for the .416's, RIPP's got me pretty much sold on the Remington version. No argument as to ballistics of any of the others, but I like the fact that a .416 Remington could, I think, be easily built to carry four rounds in the magazine like my LH SAKO AIII .375 does.
