I like the Ruger and the fact of it having no needless belt, but I have made quite a few Taylors and owned 2 of them myself. They do the 1910 ballistics of the 416 Rigby quite well. 400 grain .416" bullet at 2350. In some guns you can get over 2400, but I see no point in doing it. The Rigby's ballistics are wonderful and need no "improvement".

When the 416 Ruger came out I fully expected it to become the new round to be asked for. So far it has not. Not for any reason I know of, but so far no one has asked me to make a 416 Ruger for them. I have made about four 416 Taylors in the last 8 years.

There is nothing to complain about with either one.
