.416 Hoffman

For loaded ammo, everyone who shoots this cartridge and are not rolling their own, Superior or Safari Arms? Or is there someone else I am not aware of?

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

You can also shoot 416 Rem factory loads in a Hoffman chamber but not Hoffman loads in a Rem chamber.

Postdriver on the board shoots one, dont know what he uses, but don't think he rolls his own. Might check with him.
I've had good luck with Superior.

Thanks guys... never owned one but I am about to. Not being familiar with the cartridge, I was pleased to know about the ability to shoot regular Remington ammo in the Hoffman. As I remember, the Remington is the 8MM Rem Mag necked up where the Hoffman's parent case is the .375H&H so it makes sense.

I take it accuracy should be acceptable with the right Remmy load?

the only difference is a slight decrease in shoulder angle on the rem. accuracy should be unaffected. George knocked this out of the park
