Default .416 Ruger

Basically a .375 Ruger necked up to .416

Unlike the .375, the .416 in my view will have far less competition, and perhaps will become a success as well as a great cartridge.

Much easier to talk a guy into a .416 Ruger over a .416 Rem or .416 Rigby than talking a guy into a .375 Ruger instead of a .375H&H.

Interesting but I doubt I'll ever go elephant hunting... so I'll leave it for others. I do like these collaborative effort projects though.

I know ruger/hornady release the .300 RCM and .338 RCM, while the 300 RCM seems usless since we have the .300 WSM, the .338 RCM did offer a little something, but really I think a .338-375Ruger sounds even better. Maybe that'll be next after the .416 Ruger.

I would buy a 300 Ruger if they released it. 300 Weatherby performance in an 06 length action.

It'll probably be another classic case of the wildcat's of a cartridge being more popular than the parent case...

ie, a .300-375 Ruger, .338-375 Ruger, .416 Ruger....
