Re: The New .416 No.2 Rimmed Rigby Cartridge

Quote:

Woodleigh added the cap for better feeding in bolt action rifles. Being a solid, aerodynamics doesn't matter. As for performance, the cap doesn't do any harm (it's quickly demolished upon entry).

Regarding Rigby's rimmed .416, it is a brilliant move!




Correct. The bubble apparently does exist. The bloke that designed them is an metal engineer or similar and I think wind tunnel tested or by some other method established that happens. Like a flat nose solid will have a vacuum in from of it and this acts much the same. Cap didn't do any harm to the 416 400grn Hydro I dropped my Elephant with.
