Still, some people hold onto and use old ammo for a long time. I know some old deer hunters who last bought a new box of ammo 15 years ago, which means they have 5 years to go before they'll need a new box. PHs, I hear, fall into the same general category. So leave some extra ammo if its legal. I know I'd feel better, at least, knowing that if I went back a year or two later he'd rotated some reasonably new stock onto his cartridge belt.





Think some of what you said about may be the culprit..have hunted with quite a few PH's in various parts of Africa...they day to day care of firearms, at least what I have seen, is less than desirable...ie, they maybe don't clean them as often as they should...guess my point is, perhaps that could at least conceivably, be part of the "sticky" issue...

Oh, don't worry, all the tests on the new Ruger will confirm its a better cartridge and the older ones like the .416 Rigby, Hoffman, or even the newer editions such as Remington and Weatherby are not nearly as efficent....oddly enough however, year after year those same said cartridges continue to take down game with a hitch...

They may not hit the Rigby too hard as they still sell guns chambered in that round...found it really interesting that in some of their advertising for this they mention the 415 Hoffman and yet don't mention the Remington or Weatherby rounds...gee, why do you suppose that is.??
