Calibre Choices for Dangerous Game

Nice article

I am chatting with Rigby now about 416 Rigby.

I will have to see how we could dress the rifle up... a little engraving would be a nice personal touch in my opinion...
 
Good article. Shot placement and the right bullet, where have I heard that before?
 
Excellent article with very good advice. In particular; . . . . "shot placement and bullet construction are far more important than calibre."
 
Yes shot placement is all important but a 416 Rigby would be such a great gun to own.
 
I think we have a consensus! Bullet composition and shot placement are the things PH's worry about. Good to know. CAustin- you might still need that .416 because the article didn't mention country-specific minimum calibers. If I were a judge, my gavel would be striking and the words "case closed" would echo in my courtroom. But I'm not, so feel free to continue arguing.

Excellent article, worth reading twice.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
