Need .416 Rigby data for web page.
« on: April 06, 2007, 11:28:01 AM »
For the last couple of months I have been working on a .416 Rigby page.
www.416rigby.blogspot.com
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, please 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 information 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?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dave

Just to clarify something.
I received a message suggesting that I do a web search for data, and publish that. A helpful suggestion, but that's not what we are looking for here.
I was hoping to get some "favorite loads" that people have used, and know to be good loads, that they would be willing to share with others.
Thanks,
Dave

  Hodgdon manual # 27:  106.0 grs. Hodgdon H-4831, substituted  Norma brass from listed Federal, substituted 400 gr. Hornady Interlock SP from listed 400 gr. Hornady FMJ.  CCI mag rifle primers.  Chronographs at 2,595 fps in a CZ 550.  This is nearly 200 fps faster than the book indicates, verified with 2 chronographs.  Hodgdon tech line says it is entirely possible.  Shoots .2" groups at 50 yds.  Under 1" at 100 yds.  Load is very consistant.
