Let's talk powders. 416 Rigby. Most seem to be using H4831. I have too many powders now and don't want to buy more. I have IMR 4350, Varget, Re 15, Re22, Re 25, bl-c2, IMR 4064, Maybe some others. I will load some 350's and some 400's. Loads? Thanks "D"

D, I know what you mean about people here using H4831. Now I have to try that powder!
So far I've tried IMR 4350 and IMR 4831 with 350s and 400s. What I have found so far in my rifles is that I seem to get a tad better accuracy from the IMR4350 of the two. Certainly very good loads.
I have some Varget and BL-c2 on hand also, but don't really know where to start or stop with those. Really, with how this IMR 4350 is performing, I think I might be finished with load development. (now if I only had the bullet choices finalized.)
Best to you, Bill

I've never used IMR4350 but a friend used H4350 and gets good results. I use IMR4831(96grs) and that is my everyday hunting load, very accurate and delivers 2400fps. Have tried R22 and it works well. Think I would pass on the Varget as it's likely a bit too fast on burn rate, ditto 4064.

I've been using H4350 and desided to use 101 grains together with the 400 grains Hornadys.
But in my rifle 95 to 105 grains worked well.

So you might give the IMR 4350 a go!

Best Regards

Bill I know what you mean. Let me know what you come up with when you decide on the bullet. I guess I will have to come up with a practice load and then a soft solid combo. Got to go. "D"

I've had excellent results with IMR 4350. I use 90.2 gr and it duplicates the original factory specs of 2350 fps. H-4831 works well also, particularly if you want to bump up the velocity. Accuracy for me is right at 1" with 400gr Swift A Frames and Hornady solids. Let us know how you make out! jorge
