Best factory loads of 416 rigby available in RSA?

Dear All,

I suggest you contact directly Mauritz Coetzee who has a sporting goods store. He had some Norma in 416 Rigby when I was there last month. Telephone is (27) 82 854 7301 or 12 991 6700. I don't think any factory loads other than Norma and Federal (Hornady isn't available yet) could possibly be available and you can check their web sites to see the bullet offerings in those calibers. The Federal is more expensive.

Hmm i was hoping to find some new manufacture kynamco, the norma stuff has swift a frame bullets in softs and barnes solids. the variation in muzzle vel may really mess with poi. anyadvice willbe very welcome. cheers, tm

trapmonkey, you can find the ammo you are looking for at Powderkeg, phone no. +27 11 472 1720. I would have prefered the Norma loaded with Swifts over the Kynoch offering loaded with Woodleighs myself, but presume your rifle is zerod for the Kynochs?
