The first step in my long range 416 Rigby load has arrived! I wanna give a special thanks to Dan at Mountain Molds and Tom Meyers for the mold design. So what yall think?

Hard to tell without a chamber cast for reference, but it looks good to me.

that mold is sweet.
and from the other threads measurements, you should have a ton of proper fit.
can't wait to see some holes in some paper.

Is paper all you're gonna kill with it?

It is going Colorado Elk hunting in October I hope to get it shooting well enough for a 400 yard shot.

As far as a hollow point R5R if it shoots as good as it looks I may just look into it.

won't need much of one or too big, it would just shift a little weight.

Depends on how it stabilizes in your rifling. Shoot it and find out!

Gonna be interesting to see how it shoots at higher velocities. Keep us posted.

get it out and shoot it.
you get your gas checks yet?
even at 1900 or so that is a hunk of lead flying along, nothing is gonna slow it down too much.

What rifle is your Rigby? I really like the Rigby, just something about the name gets your attention.

Nope, I can only cast on monday, and last monday I forgot my mold. For the best I guess as I am very busy with boolit orders... I run around like a one legged man in an *** kicking contest!
