I am giving serious thought to purchasing a CZ 550 in .416 Rigby, and if I do, I will also be reloading for same.
Because the .416 Rigby is a LONG case, I have some concerns that my LnL Classic single-stage may not be adequate for at least two reasons: 1) the opening measures right at about 4", which may be quite tight for seating some of the longer bullets; and 2) should I need to full-length resize the cases, it is likely going to take a goodly amount of force to do so, and the press frame may not have sufficient strength to hold up to it.
Has anyone used the LnL single-stage press with this cartridge successfully? If so, what- if any- items of advice can you give?
I have no problem acquiring another SS press if it is needed to reload for this cartridge, even a .50 BMG SS press if necessary. Any advice regarding suitable SS presses (should another be needed) would also be very helpful.
Thank you very much in advance.
