Have a CZ 416 Rigby on its way. Bullet selection seems to be a bit more scarce than bullets for my 458.
I ordered some Barnes 400 grain TSX. I can also order 410 grain woodleigh sp . I found one place that has a couple boxes of the swift aframe that I know are highly recommended.
For solids in it I can order nosler solids, woodleigh fmj , and one place has twenty, and only twenty of the hydros.
Factory ammo available is Norma for approx $300 for 20. Hornady dgx available for approx 140 a box. I may get some Hornady just to have some extra brass.
I will be using the rifle for practice and maybe a moose, bear, deer hunt . I haven't decided yet if I will use this one or my CZ in 458 Lott if I am ever fortunate enough to do a buffalo hunt. I have used a cz 375 for many years, so I am very familiar with the rifle ,I will just have to get used to the heavier recoil in the Rigby and the Lott.
I just noticed another Rigby thread just below this one, apologies. I should read a bit more before I post first thing in the morning.
Any info on the woodleigh sorts ,solids or the nosler solids would still be appreciated!
Thanks for any input
