I have started building a few .375 and .416 Ruger rifles for a couple of friends and myself. All of them are going to be on Model 70 classic actions that were originally .300 Win mag or .338 win mag. I got the first .416 threaded and chambered and then test fired. The belted magnum magazine box and or the follower are not working well for retaining and feeding the Ruger cartridges. Wondering if anyone has experimented with different magazine components and had success.

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!
