RE: Which .40 Cal Rifle?
According to the fellows at accurate reloading:
.416 400grain Max loads
Rigby=2600fps w/105gr H4350
Weth= 2660fps w/116gr Re19
Rem=2400fps w/80gr VVN 140
416 and 458 cal bullets all have low BCs, they will all "drop like a mother" past 200 yards. If your going with a 416 cal, the remington looks best to me. The other two are much more inefficient at transferring powder to bullet speed. The bear or elk wont know the difference between 2400fps and 2600fps, but you will!!
