416 ruger question
Hi guys. Anyone have any load data to share on the speer 350 grain mag tips? Looking for any help and what powder to use in this combo. Same for any pet loads with 400 gr hornady softs. Thanks

Mine likes the Hornady 400 RN over 74.0 gr of RL15.

20" barrel? If so what kind of velocity are you seeing? Thanks

I load the 350 grain Mag Tips with 80 grains of H414/Win 760. I do not remember the velocity.

My barrel is 26", seeing 2350ish fps. Ran it as high as 75 grains but 74 was a wee bit more accurate and packed plenty of punch.

I found IMR 4064 gives better velocities in mine then RL15 with less powder.

I have shot several head of big game with the 350gr mag tip at 2450 fps.

Including one 500lb Black bear had 39 inches of penetration on that bear.

I see that MR2000 is a good powder for the 400 gr pills. Anyone use it for the 350s? Thanks

I use the Barnes TTSX 350 grainers with 77gr of Varget in my 416 Ruger Alaskan.
