Has anyone here used the RCBS 350gr .417” bullet in their .416 Remmy? https://www.midwayusa.com/prod...010265854?pid=282505 The mold drops a pretty bullet and I’d like to find a load at or just below 2,000fps for plinking and WTD since I won’t be going to Africa in the near future. | ||

im shooting it in a .416 Taylor.. 79gr of RL17 gets me about 2200-2250 out of a 20" bbl... several friends have provided the cast bullets to me as a gift... Norman Conquest can probably help here too...he's one of the guys that gave me the bullets,,, go big or go home ........ DSC-- Life Member NRA--Life member DRSS--9.3x74 r Chapuis | |||

Nyati Inc has an article on the web for reduced loads using 5744. They show loads for the .416 REM but not with 350 grain bullet. They do show a load for the .416 Ruger that uses a .350 gr Bullet loaded to produce 2000 FPS. Check it out. I don’t have the URL handy but I originally found by googling. | |||

From Accurate data, 350 Lead FN @ 3.43" OAL in a 24" barrel: 5744 - - - 49.5 @ 2086 fps, 55.0 @ 2267 fps 45-46 gr should give 2000 fps, and no fillers needed. | |||

I shot that bullet in a Ruger No. 1 in .416 Rigby over 50 grains of 5744 and got right at 2000. Very nicely accurate. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I use to use it in my 416 Taylor also. It made a real thumper on hogs and deer. | |||

Jeffeosso, This bullet is gas checked too. I guess you downloaded Hodgdon’s jacketed bullet data for H335? | |||

I shoot a 315gr cast in my 416 Taylor at 950 fps it is really quite at that speed. No need for a suppressor. I need to get a 400gr and see how it sounds down low. Great penetration kills well. | |||

In my 416 Satterlee Arms Ruger with 22 inch obermyer barrel I'm using a 400gn cast, double diam proj with 30 gns of H 4227 (AR2205) gives me 1500 fps, with 60 GNS of Varget gives me a touch over 2000 | |||
