Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

From what I saw on Kentucky Ballistics that 416 Rigby out penetrates nearly everything.

[@thedavidleveraction1776]

​@danielcurtis1434 Since standard length action ARs exist, I am thinking that the .416 Ruger might be a more practical choice. That way, you can use existing parts.

[@coolguy3725]

[@zorro456]

How about the Oddities. Like the .22 Earsplitzenloudenboomer?

[@dylanowens70]

According to @KentuckyBallistics, this should be the 416 honey badger vs 416 rem mag. After seeing some videos of his of the 416 Rigby this should be a great video

[@boermetroer1714]

I had a friend with a 404 Jeffrey, he loaded it down to practice with. Hell of a cartridge.

[@drakeslocum2564]

Should have added in the 416 weatherby magnum. Great video Ron!

[@Winkler_B_Rudolf_1911]

If you want factory ammo, Remington, if you want to handload your ammo Rigby, and if you want even more power, Weatherby and Barrett.

[@joshwilcox8941]

I would like to see more dangerous game cartridge reviews/overviews!

[@Heinrich_STG44]

Yes. Let's dive into the other 416's

[@GibsonTick]

I have a 416 rigby, I'm shooting a 400 grain barnes tsx @ 2508 fps and it shoots well under MOA. Fantastic round!

[@lanemendenhall7664]

That sounds terrifying

[@kareldebures7006]

Enjoy every round of that rifle! At every opportunity too!

[@gisconstruction1977]

I'd like to see the 416 Weatherby vs 416 Ruger and what the both of them would best be used for. Two totally different cartridges and both and both are used for very different applications and perform extremely well for what they were produced for. Should be a great video

[@samthai818]

416 wby exceeds all other 416 by 300fps.

[@madcapmagician6018]

The 416 Rigby is a beast.😮

[@KathrynLiz1]

In the African heat the Rigby would be my choice... bigger case, lower pressures (small case and high pressure were the Achilles' heel of the 458 Winchester). A friend of mine that hunts in Africa had a CZ rifle in .416 Rigby and his loads pushed the 400 gr Barnes at about 2600fps. It kicked a lot, but was very accurate although not something you'd want to shoot 20 rounds prone with.. 🙂

[@lawrencecardente533]

I would like to see a video showing the performance comparisons of the 375 Ruger/weatherby/Remington Ultramag.378 Weatherby.

[@willanslow5719]

Would like to see comparison of the Ruger 416 and the Remington 416. Also, the Ruger 375 and other 375s

[@heinrichstoltz1356]

I’ve hunted and guided with both. Cannot say that I’ve ever seen a buffalo, giraffe or eland notice the difference in being shot with either. I just found that with the .416RM rifle actions did get “sticky” to open when we hunted in very hot weather and chamber pressures increased due to hot ammo. This was not all the time, but enough to be aware of the fact. I found that 350gr handloads were great in open regions when hunting eland, roan or similar large game and you could not stalk to within 100m. It still shot flat enough and delivers all the energy necessary. I reloaded Woodleigh (410gr & 450gr), Hornady 400gr, Swift 400gr and Rhino 350gr. For propellant, RL22 and Somchem S385. On soft nose bullets only the largest eland, buffalo or giraffe would not have a complete pass through. One interesting benefit of either if these are that they are great choices when hunting very small antelope for trophy with solids. A solid bullet just punches through without destroying the cape and on something as small as a duiker or klipspringer it is an instant kill.

[@gunman-6646]

Great information Ron, Thank you!

[@andrewcleveland]

Great episode Ron. I’m a huge 416 guy. Been using the 416 rem and 416 Taylor improved last several years for deer. It’s great for practice.

[@10-4CodyWade]

The 416 Weatherby has the case capacity of the Rigby with the higher pressure rating of the Remington. It's good for about 200-250 FPS more velocity.

[@oubliette862]

I used to watch this guy that had a lever gun in 50 110 and with a 300gr bullet was very impressive. that combined with the advantage of multiple rounds seemed ideal for hunting pretty much anything big. seemed like a lot of fire power in a small package. I don't hunt so...what do I know, other than the fact that I like shooting absurdly powerful guns that I can't afford.

[@HondoTrailside]

There is a standard formula for dangerous game on velocity, bullet weight and SD. 50 300 grain is a very poor SD. However, some 50 Alaskan, or 50-110, rifles, and for that mater, lever actions, have been used in Africa both historically, or currently. (Well not 50 Alaskan). It is the middle colonial period of sport hunting, where other than Roosevelt, not too many people wrote about them. Off the shelf, the 45-90s offered by Winchester are pretty much ready to go for Dangerous game. That cartridge has the same capacity as the 458 Win, give or take, so somewhat similar results have been recorded over on the African Hunting board. Another good option is the Win 1895 in 9.3x62, which is a custom proposition, but not too expensive, and would be pretty magic (the show up now and then). You have a box mag to short out bullet shapes, and a cartridge with an amazing power to recoil track record in Africa. Another option is the 1886 in the 475, as offered by Turnbull.

[@deanharris7149]

Video on both the 416 and 375 Ruger would be awesome.

[@ronnybee9920]

Fired a 416 Rigby in a Ruger No. 1 the other day. Hit my targets bang on but got slightly gonged in the eye with the scope. No harm done but a good reminder of the power. Awesome cartridge.

[@optimalbass]

Very good video. Well done.

[@davep2945]

I know splitting hairs is fun sometimes but between the .416 Ruger, Remington and Rigby those hairs are so fine as to be virtually bald. 400 grains at 2400 feet per second gets the job done and done well on anything that walks. People like to talk about the .416 Weatherby because of the crazy velocity and energy numbers but for me if I'm going to take that level of recoil to produce those energy levels I want more bullet delivering the message. If we're only concerning ourselves with energy as many armchair jockeys do then energy transfer is the real issue and wider, heavier bullets that dump all their energy into the animal while still reaching the vitals are better than lighter and smaller diameter bullets that exit with energy to spare. The .416 Weatherby produces something like 80 to 85 foot pounds of felt recoil in a 10 pound rifle and you can get more energy transfer into target with less recoil with a .458 Lott or a .500 Nitro Express. And for the same recoil a .500 Jeffery would do better. And, heck, at that level it really doesn't get much worse in the feels department for roughly 12 more foot pounds to endure a step up to a .505 Gibbs or a .460 Weatherby. All of which will penetrate more than enough to cross country an elephant while delivering a bigger fist to the face.

[@chadlemons8555]

Yes yes I am a patron member and have been asking for 416 ruger and 375 ruger content!!!! Thanks

[@zacharysearing3904]

I’d like to see another video where you cover the .416 Ruger more. I really enjoy your videos, thanks!

[@thomasdaniel6495]

I bought a Rem.700 in 416 Rem. not long after they were introduced and loved shooting it.I never put a scope on it,but I would buy Remington ammo for it,both soft and solids.I would use it at the range as my wake up gun 😂. I was really impressed with how easy I could hit a 3/4" steel ram at 200 yards with it.Youre right about one thing though,it didn't hurt to shoot and was quite controllable but three shots in rapid succession would make you feel a little punch drunk.All in all though,I have made up my mind that when I get another to carry to Africa,I'm getting the Remington.I may buy a Rugby as well,just because it's so classic,but all things considered,I like the Remington version best.Great video,and yes,do one on the other two cartridges as well.

[@kareldebures7006]

Wonderful video, and for decades, my favourite rifle for the dangerous creatures has always been and always will be the 416 Rigby! By the way, that book has always been a favourite of mine! To me, the Rigby can cover every situation well given the options available for it, it is a true classic to me along with a 30-30, 300 H&H, 45 Colt, and all such classics! Thank you for making this video, some of us are just old school, and I do not think that I am the only one in this world with no interest in the 416 Rememington!

[@Minimumholloway]

That is just crazy powerful.

[@bryanbest5113]

My Rigby is in a M1917 Enfield, as rem model 30. With a Bevan King barrel. About 11lbs, you wouldn't want it lighter.

Great vdo you really operated that bolt so correctly on first gun. No so much on second rifle.

[@davidmackee8575]

Really good comparison Ron very interesting to see these rounds so similar but different good video once again

[@Lauterbach24]

Shooting those big calibers regularly is a good way to acquire a detached retina.

[@clrd4tkoff]

Awesome Video! I've owned both and I love the 416 Rigby! And with current powders you can load close to Weatherby specs. But now I have a 458 Lott and love it! Keep making the big bore videos! Not many people doing that anymore 😔😔

[@brandonchandler9032]

Id take the 416 Remington magnum mainly for being able to find ammo for that caliber. It does perform well though too. What use is any gun if you can't find ammo for it.

[@johnvillalovos5082]

Very nice review Ron. The 416s would be my choice as well. I had both the Rigby and Remington versions. They both have their pros and cons as you pointed out and, yes, the Rigby had a bit more recoil with the same bullet weights and the same velocities. They are more pleasant to shoot, if you can call it that, than the 458 Win Mag and especially the 458 Lott. And the 500 A-Square is on a whole ‘nother level, entirely. But, the 416s are my favorite of all the above!

[@K-bob_45]

I have a 416 rem and have shot a 470 NE and a 500 a square. 500 a square is not even enjoyable to me. Love my 416

[@andyherzfeld9492]

I have a custom .416 Remington and love that rifle it shoots surprisingly flat out to 200 yards. I think it hits as hard or hard than my .458 Lott.

[@lifted_above]

The .416 Ruger (.375 Ruger parent casing) should have been thrown in. Ballistics are right in with these two, yet it runs 62,000 psi.

[@Bartimusblue27]

The problem with the ruger shows up when handloading, in that the velocities you get with factory ammo is all you will ever get, and are quite difficult to replicate without severly copressed loads, and encountering pressure issues like flattened primers and sticky bolt. (Hornady's mystery blend) Where as the Rigby & 416rm can be safely handloaded to 2800fps/3000fps with 300-350gr bullets. You will never see the north side of 2700fps in a 416 ruger.

[@lifted_above]

@@Bartimusblue27 So long as you have personal experience with that, I can accept what you're saying.

[@WayStedYou]

The 416 rigby almost looks like the modernized version with no belt and wider, the main thing holding it back is the pressure level

[@williamgaines9784]

Those pressure limits of the preWWI era cartridges seem to be modest to match the manufacturing techniques of the time.

[@danielrouw2593]

Enter the Norma magnums. 416 Rigby case loaded to modern pressures necked down to .300 or .338. Future proof as the US military has chosen it for both LMG and sniper roles.

[@thebigsurg]

Great Video, now time to make a video comparing the 500 Jeffery with the 505 Gibbs

[@gogart3]

Good, thx

[@Paladin1873]

My only concern about using the 416 Remington Magnum in Africa is the high pressure readings. The heat of summer could cause pressure spikes that might lead to extraction difficulties.

[@russellehrgood9835]

Firing the cartridge causes pressure not the air temperature.

[@Paladin1873]

@@russellehrgood9835 I'm only repeating the complaints of some African hunters who claimed the high operating pressure of modern big game rifles caused extraction issues on hot days. I presume this applied to repeated firing, not one-off shots.

[@cfranklin7450]

​@russellehrgood9835 that is incorrect. As powder temp increase its burn rate increases. As burn rate increase pressure increase. So if the air temp is higher or you have thermal heat absorbsation the gunpowder will be hotter thus increasing pressure. Which could potentially cause difficulties during case extraction.

[@jasonshults368]

The powder companies have created lots of modern powders that don't significantly change characteristics due to ambient temperature.

[@kristian762]

Nothing wrong with the 416 rem mag, works fine in the heat. Hunting buff or dangerous game down here in the middle of summer isn't advisable anyways. The temperatures are high but manageable, the big issue is that summer is our rainy season, and in the middle of summer when it's hot like that, the bush is green and thick, you can often barely see more than 10 yards. Makes it even more dangerous, and a lot more difficult. I've stalked buff in the thick stuff where you can hear the herd all around you, can hear them moving around, eating, fighting etc, maybe 15 yards away. And I couldn't see a single damn one of them. Now you must try find the right bull, get a good shot opportunity, and try keep track of where the others are in that thick stuff.

[@southernrootsalaskanbranches7]

I really want a 416 Rigby but i do love my 375 H&H up here in Alaska. 375 is also much more available then the 416s here too. Not to mention costs of the guns like you said. Great video and very informative sir!

[@samthai818]

Get a .375 wby mag, an improved 375H&H by 100-200 fps and the wby can shoot both cartridges. Just like the 300wby being capable of shooting a 300H&H.

[@southernrootsalaskanbranches7]

[@samthai818]

They are hard to find though unless you get a weatherby rifle. I wanted one back in 2000 when I found out that They make one in the Sauer 202 rifle. I put down my money for an order back then and it was never delivered. It was a unicorn. I will now settle for a Weatherby in .375 Wby if I can find one in the model I like. I have a Sako 75 .300Wby that I absolutely love, perhaps I can go a Sako 85 route in .375 H&H and get it reamed to a Wby.

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

I had a buddy from Alaska whose brother scored a 416 rigby on a song of a deal. Definitely more than enough for brownbbear defense. Sheesh.

[@greyhammar]

The Rigby is another old european cartridge that is handicapped in loading manuals due to fear of blowing up an antique. In a strong modern magnum action like the CZ 550 safari it's more than reasonable to load it to 60000 psi, and some people load it to almost Weatherby levels. I've never understood why more reloading manuals don't have multiple pressure sections for these old cartridges to reflect these realities like they do for the .45-70. Anyone who's ever run a quickload for these old cartridges at a modern action pressure can see this. Personally, I load mine with Tsx 350's at 2750 fps.

[@gsnicholas8522]

Actually, the rigby was loaded at lower pressure due to the powders available when it was created. At the high temperatures encountered while hunting in Africa, those powders would spike in pressure hampering extraction. To counter act this it was lo lower pressure. It has nothing to do with blowing up older rifles.

[@greyhammar]

@gsnicholas8522 Then why isn't there a higher pressure rating for newer, modern powders? The same argument can be made for 7x57, 6.5x55, to a degree 8x57, though there is the bore issue with that one. We don't load cordite anymore, you'd think someone would have realized that somewhere over the last 80 years or so. The fact is you can turn the belt off of 416 weatherby brass and resize it to lose the radius shoulder for a Rigby, they're that close in size. Why the lasting massive difference in max pressure if it's only an issue of obsolete powders?

[@gsnicholas8522]

[@edwardronayne6067]

I think the .416 Weatherby is perhaps the firm's very best all-around cartridge for heavy game. I'd like to see an honest comparison (there are some silly ones out there) between the .416 Weatherby and the .416 Remington. I suspect that there is some difference in "best use" between the two cartridges. Keep up the good work!

I have been seriously thinking about getting myself something in 416 to mess around with. Anything chambered in the Rigby is pretty pricey, the Remington is hard to find something chambered in also. The 416 Ruger Hawkeye bolt action is pretty much available at a reasonable price and it delivers the same ballistics so that is what I am leaning toward. Ammo and components seem hard to come by.

[@charlesperry1051]

I would like to see how the .416 Ruger compares. I have a .375 HH and am not sure if I will every buy anything bigger....but who knows.

[@PassivePortfolios]

No question the 416s are great dangerous game rounds but most people can't shoot them well due to the sharp recoil. That's why the .375s are so popular - because they recoil less but are still legal. Two interesting alternatives which are making a comeback are the 404 Jeffrey and the 9.3 x 62. Although the 9.3 x 62 is below the .375 bore minimum, it is legal in most African countries due to its historic reputation. The 404 Jeffrey does everything the 416s can do but with less velocity, which is fine because dangerous game is not hunted at long ranges.

[@thewesternmohawk4995]

Ralph Martini builds amazing rifles. They shoot just as good as they look too.

[@spektr540hemi]

More videos on 416s, yes please !!! I would like to hear your thoughts on the 416 Ruger. One of my favorites is a custom build, FN Mauser action in 416 Taylor....458 Win necked down to 416...tho' actual Taylor cases are not quite as tappered as the 458 Win, they can be made from 458 Win. cases. Very mild, accurate and plenty of power for most anything if you do your part.

[@1jw007]

Ron @ronspomeroutdoors I just ran across this video & as usual is awesome👍 💯 Just turned 62 & ready to start checking off some more of my bucket list ''to-do's"; and hopefully going to get-it-rolling with a 1st Safari hunt. ((The wildest rifle I've owned has been a 30-378 Weatherby Magnum which was originally inspired by the 416 Rigby. It was amazingly and crazy accurate & is a real wildcat cartridge that could really burns through barrels at like 1000 round range.)) That being said I've been researching calibers & rifles for my Big 5 hunt. I have really been intrigued by the 404 Jeffery which it appears to have better ballistics than the 416 Rigby I read, even outperforming it, surprisingly to me. So you always ask what we'd like to see so YES, I would love to see a comparison of the two by you if possible.?.? Also any other options at or ballistically at or above the 404 Jeffery that I may have overlooked. It just seems so far to be, like the near perfect cartridge with supposedly less recoil but as much & more power than the 416 and even larger Jeffery calibers. Thanks for considering sharing the pros and cons of the 404 Jeffrey as well💥 --JW from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia 🤠

[@thedavidleveraction1776]

I know the .416 Ruger was developed to have the same performance as the .416 Rigby in a standard length action. Do they actually have the same performance?

[@paulsimmons5726]

For 416’s, the Remington is the current most popular because of the availability and cost, much like a 30-06. The 416 Rigby, though, is the more “romantic” and historical. I guess it ultimately comes down to the depth of your pockets or if you’re just looking for something more utilitarian. If I were rich enough, I’d choose the Rigby. As it stands though, my M70 Safari rifle is a 375H&H because I’m comfortable with the recoil and figure I’ll have better luck with a well placed 300g bullet than a poorly placed 400g shot that missed the vitals.

[@jamesfarmer63]

Nice video Ron. Remember the Remington was designed to duplicate the Rigby, which it does. A few fps here or there really doesn't matter. I've used the Remington, Rigby and Weatherby quite a bit and all do an excellent job. Personally I favor the Weatherby, but I like Weatherby rifles and cartridges. Can't go wrong with any of the 416s. Unfortunately Remington has once again done what Remington does best. Abandon a good cartridge and the customers.

Handloads are nominal as far powder and power goes-- but you do get more rounds from a pound with 416 Rem Mag loads. Nowadays that counts for something.

[@andrewcleveland]

Definitely counts these days!

A lot of people don't know this but that big .416 was actually invented by a woman named Eleanor Rigby. The Beatles who were prolific big-game hunters actually wrote a song about her. They just really loved that cartridge because it hit so hard. Ringo was really the only one who could shoot it without flinching though. True story bro.

[@davidm.2273]

People warned that she would shoot her face off with such a round, unfortunately history proved them correct.

[@jerrymartin5100]

John Rigby and company developed the 416 Rigby, your Beatles story is false, she was a fictional character.

[@actionjksn]

@@jerrymartin5100 Why you want to be disrespecting Eleanor Rigby, after what she has done for the big game hunters?

[@MrDDiRusso]

.416 BARRETT rules them all.

[@levidotson6610]

I’m a big fan of .416 Taylor gets fairly similar performance, but let’s you drop back to a standard long action

[@danb2529]

Did a custom .416 Rigby build on the website and once I got to £37,000 ($46,000), I figured it'd be good enough, when I win the lotto !

[@mariovermani]

What do you think about the 404 jeffery in comparison?

[@ShockerRepair]

Hey Ron, I have a question for you. On these modern pencil barrels that are fluted, the barrels get super hot very quickly. How do you go about finding (developing) a good load for a new rifle whenever the barrel gets hot so quickly and the groups start opening up after only 3 or 4 shots? I have a 7-08 Xbolt I'm trying to figure out but the barrel gets hot very quickly and I feel like it's nearly impossible to even test out a single 3/5 shot group to see what this rifle likes because after 2 or 3 shots it starts opening up from the barrel heat. -Seth

What about the .416 Ruger?

[@tjgrossman]

My CZ550 Safari Magnum in 416 Rigby holds 4 in the mag, my REM 700 KS in 416RM held 3 in the mag…I kept the Rigby!

[@fantomfotog]

WHILE WATCHING ABOUT RECOIL IT MADE ME WONDER IF ANYONE HAS EVER BUILT A STOCK THAT MAY HAVE SOMETHING WITH A SHOCK ABSORBER TYPE SET UP? I ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL BY THE WAY!

[@BorealEDC]

Benelli has there system in their new Lupo bolt action rifle. I understand It's the same system as in their inertia auto loader shotguns like SBE 3.

[@michaelredman5750]

The 416 Ruger with the synthetic stock really takes the sting out of the recoil.

[@fantomfotog]

THATS GOOD . I WAS THINKING ON OTHER CALIBERS FOR WEAK PEOPLE! LOL @@michaelredman5750

[@chrisp308]

Sir with all due respect what exactly can you not kill humanly with a 30 06 or a 300 WM or a 7mm Remington magnum? How much do these 400 + cartridges cost compared to the basic old standards that quite frankly the 270 has been doing all along?
