Thanks Paladin. Will you be testing a 400 grain bullet? When I finally acquired the resources to afford Africa I chose a 416 Ruger for my cape buffalo hunts. I first tried a CZ in 416 Rigby but the extra long action and weight made it cumbersome. The 416 Ruger operated at a slightly lower pressure than the Taylor. The other consideration is that while the Ruger is not common in Africa the Taylor is impossible to find if you get separated from your ammunition as happened to me. If I were to do it over I might live with the higher pressure of the Remington in exchange for greater ammunition availability in Africa. If Africa is not a consideration I find the Ruger perfect.
