Win760 and the 416 Rigby

I've tried searching here on AR but haven't found much... which may be the answer I'm looking for, but I'll ask anyway.

Does anyone know of any acceptable 2400fps loads for the 416 Rigby and a 400gr soft (Hornady) using Win 760?

I have seen a few on some of the reloading data web sites but none in any reloading manuals or the Hodgdon web site.

Is 760 too fast for this combo?

Yes, I know there are more popular options (H4831, H/I 4350) but I have over 8lbs of 760 and was just wonderin'

Steve's Pages says 85 to 96 grains with a Fed 215 primer. Good shooting.

I shoot H4831 in mine. Get around 2500 fps and excellent accuracy.
