.416 Ruger Ammo Prices

Ruger and Hornady built this in 2008 on the beltless .375 Ruger case, sized so the whole thing runs in a standard .30-06-length action instead of the long magnum receiver a Rigby demands. Four hundred grains near 2,400 fps from a 20-inch barrel puts it in the same conversation as the classics while the rifle stays shorter, lighter and cheaper, which matters on foot in thornbush. No belt, no ceremony, nothing wasted.

Hornady is effectively the whole catalog, with 400-grain bonded softs and solids under the Dangerous Game line and not much else behind them. That is the tradeoff: pricing stays sane for a heavy bore, but one backorder is the entire supply. When a retailer has it, that is the moment.
