    USA: Nice 8 Point With My 416 Remington

    Was able to take a very good, and heavy bodied 8 pt with my Winchester safari 416 Rem yesterday. Load was 340 woodleigh PP at 2668 fps muzzle velocity. Shot was about 65 yards while I was sneaking up an old logging road. Bullet entered left shoulder and exited right shoulder. Bullet also showed...

    Settled on my hunting loads in the 416’s

On my 416 rem I switched from Hornady brass to Norma, using the same load the Norma brass picked up 58 FPS. Both guns...

    Selling My Ruger #1 416 Remington Magnum

    Since purchasing the model 70 safari that should arrive Saturday, I’ve decided to sale this rifle. I really like this rifle, but decided to use the funds for some work on another of my rifles. The rifle has some rings around the 1/4 rib from the previous owner, and it looks like they touched it...

    I’ve been after one of these for quite awhile now. In the process I’ve picked up a interarms in 416 Taylor improved, and a ruger #1 in 416 Remington. And finally was able to grab one of the model 70’s. Hopefully it will arrive by the end of the week, but might be next week. Already have the...

    Finally broke in my 416 Taylor Improved.

    Managed to take a good sized doe this afternoon. Shot was 110 yards, and load was 350 grain speer mag tip at 2610 fps. Bullet entered right behind onside shoulder, and exited center of off side shoulder. She went straight down at the shot. Bullet performance was excellent with great expansion...

    Finally got Ruger #1 416 Rem Mag

    Always loved the looks of the #1 rifles. Picked this 416 Rem Mag the other day. Have 300 gr TSX and 350 TTSX to try out this weekend. Will keep my 350 speer mag tips for my 416 taylor improved. Recoil pad is hard as a rock haha, but maybe load development will go quickly. Any tips for the #1's...

    Question for loading 450/400 NE 3 "

    Hey guys I'm looking into picking up a ruger #1 in this caliber. I have never reloaded rimmed cartridges like this before, so if ya'll could help me out I'd appreciate it.

    416 Taylor Improved compared to 416 Ruger?

    Do any of you guys happen to have a H20 case capacity for your 416 ruger? My fully formed norma brass in my taylor improved has an H20 capacity of 97.0. So far this is what I have worked up with 350 and 400 grain bullets. All were developed in 95 plus degree weather, and i have 7 reloads on this...

    Tested loads in my 416 Taylor Imp. And 9 3x62 today with good results

    I've mainly been doing velocity ladders in my 416 lately. Today I tried out three different charge weights. Around 2600 fps still seems to be the sweet spot with the 350 grain mag tips. My newest 9.3x62 has only been loaded with the lighter bullets. Mainly the factory norma 232 gr ecostrike(...

    416 Taylor Improved velocity ladder complete

    Today I finally finished the velocity ladder with 20 powder charges for this rifle. I still have not hit a max charge but I'm done, and see no need for going any higher. I've well exceeded the speed I thought I could get. Bolt lift is still easy, primers are still round, and no shiny Mark's on...

    New guy from Mississippi

    I've been lurking around here for quite a while now. Finally joined and just wanted to say hey. Been fascinated with African all of my life. Dad used to get us some of the old books to read when we were growing up. My favorite is still an early copy of Hunter by JA Hunter. Its falling apart from...
