    Rigby's Big Game vs Heym Express

    The Heym Express in 375HH holds 4 cartriges in the mag, but Mauser M98 magnum holds 5 cartriges. Is it because Heym's mag box is made to fit 375HH (and thereby hinder the bullets to be pushed inside the case during recoil).

    Old tread, but can't see it mentioned that Norma PH ammo in 404 Jeffery is made to same "power level" as 416 Rigby. But both Hornady and Kynoch follow the original recipe = same "power level" as 450/400 NE 3", aka .400 Jeffery.
