Good day all. Relatively new member here from TX and haven't posted much yet. I have a Ruger No. 1 in 416 RM and have been going back and forth on the feasibility of a 1 rifle safari, for whenever I can make it to Africa. I have a Ruger M77 in 300 WM, which would be fine to take with the 416 RM, but I am curious about the different lighter grain loads for the 416.
I do not handload, so my choices of factory ammunition are limited, primarily to the 400gr @ 2400fps variety, which I know will work well for any large bodied mammal or DG. I have recently stumbled upon Hendershots custom ammunition and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the company. Specifically, I see they have a load for 300gr TSX @ 2800fps, which I think would have outstanding performance on larger plains game (as it would effectively mimic a 375 wby MV with the same grain bullet).
Very interested to see if anyone has used this particular company/load, or has handloaded for 416 RM with a 300gr at ~2800 fps and has any comments or feedback.
Thank you!
