Rigby Double Rifle

Hmmmm.....avoid IMR4831. Does this apply to the 450-400 3" modern made double? I see lots of people reference using it. Asking for a friend.

Do what you want, but it kicks like a mule and if the five typical powders attempted to find a double rifle regulation load it is dead last.

In a 470 NE it (4831) produces over 100lbs of recoil and 3031 produces around 60lbs. The only reason people use it is that it fills the case, a very stupid requirement solved with many wad options.

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
