I'm actually surprised that Rem stopped with the 375 in the RUM case. Seems almost intuitive to me that you would go the next step. Of course, maybe they did and I just don't know about it.
416 Rem Mag ??
 
Very cool! It almost looks like the .416 Taylor necked up to .458, but with the fatter RUM case and no belt? Very interesting!
Whether or not these “wildcats” have a practical advantage over “what’s out there” is irrelevant to me. It’s thinking outside the “cartridge box” so to speak, which is how many of our current mainstream cartridges came to be in the first place and is fascinating to me!
I believe there is/was one for sale out here in Oz, base on a Ruger
M77 action/stock.
 
OK, who bought the Aussie 458 Accrel? HUH? I posted one was available herein Australia, and WHAM !! It was sold within a matter of hours ... Did one of you good blokes buy it??

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
