I know about the cartridge, but do not have a lot of knowledge on it. My big worry, and I do not have proof or answers yet, a lot of cartridges saw the light duplicating the 416 Rigby's performance. We all know of the pressure problems the 416Rem with factory loads in the Zim valley and in Moz. They down loaded the factory ammo in most casses to stop the pressure problems, therefore lower speeds and they do not duplicate the 416 Rigby anymore. The Taylor is 18% smaller than the Rem, Pressure?, must be higher than the Rem to duplicate the 416 Rigby.

What is the chances that you will pick up pressure problems in hotter parts of Africa? I am asking this out of a hunting perspective in Africa.

The problem I have with factory ammo is that manufacturers will in most cases use the fastest burning powder that will work for the specific cartridge, its a money thing, the lesser propelant they use the more money they make or they can offer their cartridghes at a lower price. But in warm climates, you can pick up pressure problems.

Maybe I am from the old school, I like the cartridges that proved themself in Africa, I know I will be safe with them.

When you are in a dangerous situation, I will not take a chance of having pressure problems. I do not have the full details of the Ruger's ballistics, for me the first check will be possible pressure problems.
