.416 Weatherby

I have a custom 416wby and you can load it up or down to equal any other 416. Used one in Zambia on PG. mine is CRF. Big power!
Would that be on a Montana PH action ? They did a nice stainless/synthetic on a Montana PH, nice rifle...nothing wrong with the calibre in the right rifle etc.
 
I handloaded ammunition for a friend of a friend who was taking his 416wby on a cape buffalo hunt. The first thing that I did was ask him if he wanted it loaded to be a 416wby or a 416 Rigby. After shooting some loaded to match the Rigby velocity he felt that was plenty and it was. If you handload that is an easy option and certainly makes it a bit more pleasant to shoot.

No, a p14 built 30 years ago. I have a stainless Montana in 505 Gibbs.

I’ve come to the concussion with mine that the recoil isn’t all that bad.

Put a decent brake in it and you can piss your friends and neighbors off equally.

GORGEOUS rifle! I love Weatherby, contrary to most on this forum for reasons I don't understand, I just wish they would offer the Mark v in crf.

Yeah, the brake is very useful for clearing the benches on either side of you at a public range. I use mine for that quite often. LOL

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

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!
