stuey416 Rigby COAL
Good day gents
I need some help with getting started with my new 416 Rigby loads so any input would be great.
I am using Norma brass and 410 grain woodleigh 410 grain RN SN.
Problem being I do not have a measure for 'cartridge overall length' to go by. I will be taking possesion of a CZ 550 in the next day or so but would like to get started in some loads now.
If there is anyone out there that shoots CZ 550 in 416 Rigby I would love to hear from you.
Many thanks in advance.

lawndartHi Stu,
3.750"
Use 96-98 grains of H-4831 and your favorite magnum large rifle primer with any 400-410 grain bullet. It really is that simple.

stueyHi Lawndart
Thank you for the info. So if the COAL is 3.750" would I be best advised loading to a cart length of say 3.60" (0.15" under COAL)?
Also the Woodleigh come with a groove for criping, should this have any bearing on the seating of the projectile?
Much appreciated
Stu
