[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 2570633, member: 65116"] More on the 416/300 RUM. [From the Nosler Reloading Guide 8] The case volume of the 375 RUM is 105.2 Gr. water while the 416 Rigby is 106 Gr. water and the 416 Weatherby is 114.5 Gr. water. If you have a 26"+ barrel starting with one of the slower powders and working up I think you can get right up to the 416 Rigby velocities. (I find a lot of the reloading data to be quite conservative.) Accepting flat primers works for me but it does lead to loose primers after maybe five reloads. Loading for single shots (longer than the magazine) helps as well. Was fun to build and work up but no need in N. Louisiana and no long trips in mind. [/QUOTE]
