Re: .416 Ruger Article

I don't know why some think 62,000psi is too high for Africa or hot climates anywhere - .270Win, 7mm and .300 mags all of them - Weatherby ctgs. - all run 62,000 to 63,000psi as well as the .416 Taylor andother wildcats - 63,000psi - no problem with correct powders. Even my daughters .260 and my .375 IMP, 9.3x62- they all run 63,000psi - normal pressure. I guess if you say 50,000 to 55,000CUP or CIP, it sounds better.

Low pressure is fine if you can handle the recoil, but I'd rather be shooting 84gr. of powder than 100gr. when we're getting the same ballistics.
