Dang that is definitely a dust bowl.
Understand regarding the factory loads / reloading. I think that the Bonded DGX is a good bullet.
I had started reloading for both the 375 & 416 Rugers when the factory ammo was hit or miss availability. And the shipping to Alaska from the boutique ammo companies ceased due to the obama administration’s bullshat. Anyways, I found the 270 grain and 350 grain TSX bullets grouped very well and have stuck with them. The 375 Ruger actually forced me back into reloading years ago.
Idmay375,
With all the shelves bare of common ammo, theres gobs of the 400 dgx bonded stuff in our local Alaskan gunstores in both 416 Ruger and 416 rem mag. I doubt I'll reload for the ole 416, with easily available horsepower like that.
Too much wind blown river silt, tracking beaver pond muck into boat, rain and snow this season.
Pulled the scope right off the 416, in favor of those rugged open sights!
It was so bad, the bore brush would pull a dust cloud of glacial silt out of the barrel every two days of hunting.
