I am a huge fan of this caliber and would like to chat with fellow fans of the 416 Rigby.
I had owned one in the Ruger #1 at one time but didn't care for single shot, so sold it and decided that I would replace it one day with a bigger gun like the 460 weatherby. After many ballistic comparisons at varied ranges, I was suprised to find the 416 rigby in a 325gr Barnes had amazing ballistics/energy that was out doing the bigger bores at ranges past 250/300yds for energy and of course trajectory. So I ran out and bought the Rigby in a CZ 550 and a set of dies. I am sad to say that Barnes does not make the 325's anymore so Iam having fun with the 300gr which will shoot faster, but dosn't carry as much energy at range. I am looking at Lost River Ballistics bullets, If anyone has an opinion about these bullets, please post. I havn't been reading alot of good things on these guys.
I would like to chat with anyone who enjoys this caliber as much as myself and maybe turn me on to some good loads.
