Greetings from Rome, Italy

Phil, unless you are after elephant, I'm a believer in the smaller of the BIG Bores. I own a 416 Rigby in a Ruger No. 1, two 404 Jeffery(s), a 416 Remington Mag and three 375 H&H(s). PH(s) should be the ones to carry the "Stoppers." But that is just my opinion.

You're right and I'm exactly on the same line.
My "big bore" is indeed a medium bore by the old british stardard, being a 416 Remington, one of the very few chambered in a Rigby, built in 1997 in England, accordingly with the Rigby ledgers and proof marks on it. It was in fact one of the very last before Rigby moved to US. I like very much the caliber, and the fact that I can shot it very well even from the bench. I would say I will need nothing more, nor I believe I would be able to shot a bigger bore as accurately as I shot my Rigby. By now I used (on targets) the good old Remington/Swift A Frame, but I'm going to reload it. So soon I will ask you some advice...
 
boungiorno, e benvenuto. Italy is a beautiful country, I live in Sicily for 2 1/2 years.

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!
