Need loading info for this round. I have an ar member that will load but he wants me to furnish data. I got woodleigh 400 grs bullets and brass from midway.

I would too!!!!!

I just checked loaddata.com and they had nothing for this round.......and they have almost everything!!!!!

I sure hope someone has some for you as it's going to be hard to get.....maybe someone with a load software can get you a starting point!

Loadtech lists it. However it is missing water capacity data. If I knew that I could run it for what it's worth.

Ramrod340, I sent you a PM with the H2O capacties for two different cases formed/sized for the 400 H&H. Thanks!

If you will load some rounds let me know and an address and I will send you my stuff.

If it's any help, Quickload 3.3 lists the 400 H&H; which bullet/powder combination are you interested in?

I need help getting the info. from quickload 3.3

Powder I'm open to. I have 400 gr. woodleigh bullets

Assuming that your cases have a max. capacity (overflow) of 104 gr (or VERY close), you could try the following loads, in grains:


Hodg. H380, start 69 - 74.5 max

IMR 4320, start 66.5 - 72 max

Vith. N540, start 68 - 73.5 max

Accu. 4064, start 66.5 - 72 max


This is only a guess, of course.

Thanks for the info.

it is my understanding that the 400 is the real deal and one heck of a modern cartridge.

we're going to find out. I'm building a take down rifle with a 300 h&h barrel and a 400h&H. Will take a long time as the cost causes me to go slow. Kriger is building the barrels and they are 6 months out. Granite Mtn. is building the action. Having heard from them in 5 months.
