As a follow-up to one of my earlier questions wrt to accuracy of the .416 Rigby, I had opportunity to see the same .416 Rigby Sako XL action again today, except this time with carefully crafted hand loads. At 50 metres, the Rigby was shooting ragged one hole groups. This is a far cry from my first observation with the factory Hornady DGX ammo that shot minute of pie plate.

So there's definitely NO FLIES on the Rigby cartridge.

Another interesting observation I made was that the Sako XL action was the same length as my L action Sako in .375 H&H. The bolt on the XL is thicker, the claw extractor is wider and heavier, but bolt pull is no different. I am puzzled why so many articles referring to rifles with a "big magnum size action" make such a fuss over how allegedly unwieldy the big action is that can handle a Rigby cartridge. Functionally, I don't see much difference at all moving from the L size to the XL size. Maybe people used to shooting super short action teeny tiny centre fire varmint cartridges like the .223 experience issues making the switch and short stroke their actions when working the actions? I just can't fathom what the fuss is all about.."
