Has anyone worked up a load for the 416 Ruger with 350Gr Barnes bullets? For that matter - has anyone find load data for the 416 Ruger yet?

I've been really happy with mine, and either of the 400 grain factory loads. I have my dies, Rel 15, and the 350 Barnes-X ready to load but was waiting for a little nicer weather. Here's an article you might enjoy. http://www.rifleshootermag.com..._wildcatting_200806/ | |||

If your looking for a place to start..... Use conservative 416 Rem Mag data and work up. I'm using a mid charge 416 Rem Mag load of powder behind a 340 Woodleigh and pressures are fine. regards S&F | |||

I reload for my 416 with 500gr bullets. My 416 isn't a ruger, its a REMINGTON. I use RL15 for its loads. | |||

Mine should arrive soon - thought I would start researching handloads.. Barnes has their 350GR X-Bullets in their closeout section for $28.00 for 50 - shoudl be a great bullet for plains game, bear, groundhogs... :-) I will probably wait for better weather as well!
