Re: 416 Remington is it a good chocie for Africa?

If you work up your loads carefully and proven them safe in 90-100 degree summer weather here at home, and there's no sign of high pressures, no sticking cases, then those loads will work just fine in Africa.

You can also buy Federal ammo in 416 Rem. Mag., and Federal tests this stuff to function properly in even 140 degree weather - I had a Federal technician tell me so first-hand.

This pressure issue with the 416 Rem. Mag. has its roots, as I stated earlier, with certain lots of Remington factory ammo that were indeed too hot. But it's been repeated so often on the street that it's beeen taken as absolute, Chicken Little-told-me-so type fact, and mostly amoungst those who have no experience with this cartridge whatsoever.

Guys who are real users and know the 416 Rem. Mag. and have actually hunted with in Africa it mostly laugh at these notions.............
