bobby7321.416 Rigby - Northfork 400gr? or 370? - found it!
After not having much success getting the barnes solids and TSX to shoot at the same spot, I'm decided to give Northforks a try.
picked up the 400 gr solids. Which have been shooting well with rl-22 and 4831.
I then decided try the 370s
Here are two shots each off the bench at 100 yards.
Northfork 370 gr SS - 105 grns of 4831
Northfork 370 gr FPS - 105 grns of 4831
that'll do just nicely! gotta say I'm definitely a Northfork believer now after reading so much about them.
I'll still practice with the barnes TSX until africa.

phurley5Both my .416 Rem and Rigby love the North Fork 370's. I shot everything else before I discovered them, the difference was night and day as to accuracy. I also recovered a soft from a Cape Buffalo that had traveled stem to stern coming to rest where the first rib leaves the backbone. It retained 99.1 % of it's weight. Good shooting.

Ed ScarboroI may have to give those a try. My regular load has been 100gr of RL22 with 400gr TSX's as well. I just got a box of banded solids but have not loaded any yet.
