For the last couple of months I have been working on a .416 Rigby page.
The .416 Rigby Page
I know it's not much yet, it's a work in progress. My intention is to (someday) have a one-stop resource for all things related to the .416 Rigby.
At this point I am gathering load data for the upcoming load data page. If anyone here has a good/favorite/pet load that they would like to share, plese send it to me for inclusion on the page.
I'm interested in hunting loads (obviously) and also light target/practice loads.
Please include:
Bullet manufacturer/weight/design, etc.
Powder type and charge.
Case used.
Primer used.
Velocity, energy,and pressure infomation if known.
Any accuracy results?
Ever used it in the field? What were the results?
General Comments?
Do you want me to give you credit for the load on the site? If so, how would you like your name/handle to read?
I'm not looking for leads to published data here. I have plenty of sources for that. What I am hoping for are loads that people have used,had good luck with, and are willing to share with others.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't leave out Superior Ammo as one of the custom loaders of 416 Rigby.

I'll get them listed, Wink.
Thanks for all your help.

My best one has been a modified O'Connor load. 105 H4831SC with a 370 North Fork shoots 1/2 in. and goes 2550. Good for cape buffalo and ventilates coyotes.

jstevens,

Thanks for the load, I finally got it posted to the site.

Much appreciated.

Dave

I almost forgot, our own Lawndart has been making noises about loading ammo also. Maybe he should be on your custom ammo list.

Lawndart, are you listening?

For Custom Ammunition in 416 Rigby and other Big Game Calibers look to Ultimate Ammunition Company. The Company strives for customer service and a first rate product. They Support / Life Members of Dallas Safari Club, SCI, GSCO. You can find them @ www.ultimateammunition.com

R.R.A.,
I've added Ultimate Ammunition to the list of .416 Rigby ammunition manufacturers.

We really could use more .416 Rigby "pet loads" if anyone has any that they want to share.
