Re: Pick a .416 Cal cartridge! Which would you go for?

Sarg - For me, the .416 Ruger, having 6gr. more capacity than a H&H case, has more capacity than needed to get 2,400fps with a 400gr. bullet - is only one reason I wouldn't choose it.

Besides, I like making my own stuff & turning the belts off .338 or .458 brass is easy-peasy and dirt cheap - too, any belted brass will do. I don't have to buy Hornady 'Ruger .375 or .416 brass' - which will not likely be available here (if ever, in bags for handloading) for another 2 years or more. Having to buy ammo at $75.00 to $90.00 for 20 just doesn't turn my crank - waste of money - but picking it up once fired at the range, being able to use anything from .264 Win. and larger in belted cases or being 'saved' for me by 1/2 doz. to a dozen other shooters does.

Free beats $$ anytime. Alows more powder in the vault and more bullets in the cupboard for loading.
