416 Rigby deer load
 
I've found the load I'm going to use on this years antlerless rifle season. Its 92.0 grs of IMR4350 over a 300 gr Barnes Triple shock"X" bullet. Using my CZ550 in 416 Rigby off the bench I put 3 shots into a 1 1/4" group @100 yds using the express sights. The group was 3" above point of aim which according to ballistics charts puts it right on @200 yds. I confirmed this making several hits on rocks @ 200 yds from the sitting and prone firing position.

Are you sure you have enough gun? :D Sorry. I just couldn't help myself. ;) I shouldn't talk. I've been known to shoot Pocket Gophers with a .375 H&H for splits and grins.
My .416 Rigby is a Ruger #1. Sure gets one's attention when I touch it off. :cool:
