Hello to all.

Earlier I posted a piece on a 416/375UM and was very
pleased with the response.

After talking to all the reamer and die makers I could
find it appears the 300UM brass was used in two of the
wildcat 416,s with 40o sholders.

I use the 375 brass to minimize neck thinning.

The cape buffalo is a worthy adversary so the
416 Buff name is in honor of this beast.

After all testing is complete I will post the
results,vel,loads,bullets,barrels,recoil,etc.

I will be happy to share all information when finished.

Thanks

I built a 416 RUM or PTG calls it a 416/300 because I had thought about this and I saw your old threads. Rifle was built weeks ago and dies get here tomorrow. But thanks for your posts. Nice to read a trustworthy source and not a keyboard commando
