You can basically do what you are talking about, and that is how I load for my elk rifle. The only difference is that the web on the .416 WBY cases are usually a tiny bit thicker than a standard .416 Rigby case. Most reloading manuals always load for the lighter standard Rigby load: 400 gr bullet at 2400 fps (for old rifles, in the HOT African environment). If you purchase a Barnes manual, it will show you how to safely "hot-rod" the venerable Rigby. thumb
