Hot Rodded

hand loading the 416 rigby?

I understand that the loading data for the 416 rigby has been held to 30000cup. I own a new cz550 that should be able to withstand more pressure. I know that both the rigby and the weatherby have similar capacities, the difference being that the weatherby is loaded to almost 60000cup. Is there any data out there for a hot rodded rigby, or would it be easier to just ream the barrel to weatherby. I'm not a fan of weatherby cartridges, but a couple of extra hundred fps would be awesome. Thanks for any help

What are you planning. Rear end shot on a Bull Elephant ??

Could you use such a weapon accurately, I'm doubtful.

Rigby know more than you do about their products so leave well alone unless your an expert or you have expert advice available.
