I think these loads are ready for action. Now all I have to do is patiently wait until September -- yeh, right.

Mike,

I would change bullets.

How do you expect them to penetrate on game when they're not even penetrating the backing board!

I think the Rigby is right on! However you need to send the 470 down here to me! It needs work!. . .On second thought I'll be glad to come get it and save you the gas! I mean what are forum Friends for????

Jeffe, you were right on, the .470 NE spread is 1.5" center to center, the .416 Rigby spread is .9" center to center. And with my novice handloads.

Rusty, I would not foist such a weapon on anyone, not until I can work out the kinks and get the thing shooting right.

George, I have heard about the Woodleighs being soft. May need to check out the Swifts.
