[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 252888, member: 10"] Basically what the 338-416 Rigby is is an older version of the 338-378 Wby. Capacity wise they are nearly identical, the Wby just has a belt which some poo-poo on. Worst thing with Wby brass is it tends to be a bit soft and its spendy as hell. The Rigby brass is even worse in both areas. A 338 Lapua Improved will do anything the 338-416 Rigby will do even though its slightly smaller in capacity for the simple reason that the Lapua case will handle much higher chamber pressures then the Rigby or Wby case will handle. Plus, its extremely high quality brass and if you can believe it, its much cheaper then the Wby or Rigby case. In my opinion, for the top performance level, I would not look any farther then the Lapua case either in standard factory form or improved form. If you want more performance then that, the next worthwhile step up would be going all the way to the 338-408 Chey Tac class wildcats. Do not bother with going with the 338-416 Rigby. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
