Larry, that was the first measured distance before he gave a couple more hastily steps. Will I have forget that shot, there is no way unless I loose my memory?  That was definitely the shot of the year. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

kudu4u ----- Try www.superiorammo.com they list North Fork bullets on their chart of available bullets. They will also load the bullets of your choice if you supply them. Good shooting. phurley | |||

Actually, Wendell, your longest was with my Mod 70 - 350 yards on a buff. Heart shot him. Dead as a doornail. Even had to hold slightly for the wind (I will take credit for giving the wind instructions). Load was 400 grain Swift A Frame under a max charge of Varget (in Denver now, so I don't have the load notes in front of me). | |||

AZ: I wondered how long it would take for you or Wendell to relate that great story. I was impressed!  jorgeUSN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

As your last comment on using a .416 Rem. I have tried both the .416 Rem and .375 H&H. The .375 is about all I can handle and shoot accurately. The .416 is too much for me. I would shoot the .416 if I could get one that did not give me a headache. | |||

AAZW has one of the sweetest, accurate shooting 416s I have come across - almost as good as a varmint rifle  | |||

Ruger 77Magnum, .416 Rigby, 350-gr X, 227 lasered yards on an Ontario coyote. Probably one of my most memorable shots...because it was the one that split the stock on that durn gun, only a few short weeks before it was supposed to go to Africa with me.  | |||

I have a first year of new production (1994) Model 70 CRF in 416 Remington. Killed a bison at 30 yards with handload of 350 gr Speer Mag-Tip over 84 gr BL-(C)2, chronographed at 2620 fps. Shot at base of the neck, dropping the buff instantly, while the bullet continued on into the forest 100+ yards away (the guide heard it and commented afterward).  | |||

Not a 416 Rem, but with my 416 Rigby I nailed a few pigs, with 300gn Barnes @ 2920fps. The first at 40 yards, the second at approx 160 yards, the third at approx 250 yards (paced), and the fourth got away. These were all taken off-hand after a bit of a chase through the scrub, (except the first which I sneaked up on),until I got to a point where I could see them clearly enough, so they managed to cover some ground between the hits. Then on another hunt I got a wild dog at 255 metres (measured using my GPS). The 300gn Barnes is a devastating bullet when used on small and medium game. | |||

In 2006 I took a Nyassaland wildebeest named Fred at 350 yards with a Northfork soft. Clean heart shot. This is the ENTRY side....  I swear those things were opening on the hide. This was typical performance during the trip. Don_G ...from Texas, by way of Mason, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado! | |||

Yeah, I love that rifle. Mostly bow hunt ever since that trip, but the topic caught my eye. Loads here: http://forums.accuratereloadin...=584108274#584108274 Could not find the original Cutrifle thread, maybe it's too far back? Don_G ...from Texas, by way of Mason, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado! | |||
