info. on 416 Rigby
09/08/08 11:46 PM

Hi all, am seriously thinking about getting a 416 Rigby probably in a CZ. Before I start I have to say I have absolutely no need for this rifle and the main animals it will be used on are Deer. Has anyone loaded a very mild load for this purpose? I read somewhere that the 416 was surprisingly pleasant to shoot, I find this hard to believe of a cartridge burning over 100 grains of powder. The biggest gun I have used to date was a Ruger No.1 in 458 Winnie, what would the recoil be like compared to this? I plan to reload this rifle, wondering where all you other Aussies get your Brass from and how much$ I know the 505 required a bigger press due to the size of the dies, is the Rigby in the same boat? Sorry for asking so many questions but just trying to find out peoples real experience with this calibre and/or rifle before I part with my hard-earned!
Many thanks and good to be here,
Aussie

P.S. Possible Pig shoot coming up in 6 weeks or so, already have a hundred 300gr.XTP's and a hundred 265gr. Hornadys loaded up for my Pig shooting virgin 444!
