Some years back I bought a couple of packets of 416 Rem, anticipating building one of these. I had recently sold a 416 Rigby that I built on a Brno ZKK 602 ( I know, I know  ) & was going to build the Rem on a P14 (303cal M17) action, family happened & it never got done, In anticpation of shooting in the 416 Rem, I pulled the A-frames & replaced them with Hornady 400 gn Interlocks. I've now decided to go with a 416 Taylor, I have a suitable M98 action, cheaper to feed etc etc, & would like to hang onto the A-frames. I want to sell the 416 Rem cartridges but will I be leaving someone liable to elevated pressures with the bullet swap. My logic says the Hornadys should produce less pressure than a A-frame with a solid partition, but... Has anyone had experience of these two projectiles & can advise me? Thanks.Steve PS. Loving the forum, just getting back into the shooting side now the kids are growing up a bit, still got no money.  | ||

You might be correct, but why subject someone else to injury and you to a lawsuit? When I reload for someone else, I do it only when I have their rifle and can bring it to the range myself with the chrono to be certain the loads I have put together are safe. Since you are staying with a 416, why not just pull these bullets as well, keep them for plinkers (which is what I do with the inexpensive Hornadys in my 416), discard the powder and sell the primed brass?

You cannot extrapolate between the two bullets; each gun is an individual, and what is safe in one may be a bomb in another. I agree with CCMDoc; you're exposing someone else to possible injury and yourself to a lawsuit. Pull the bullets, dump the powder, and sell the primed brass. George  | |||

Yep. Remember too that some of the early Remington ammo was loaded a bit too hot in .375 H&H and .416 Remington using the Swift bullets. They downloaded it a bit after many incidents of pierced primers in factory rifles with the Remington factory ammo. Canuck had some of that Remington stuff damage a rifle. I had pierced primers with it. Good advice above. Sell the primed brass, and save all the bullets for your .416 Taylor. The Swift bullet probably will generate higher pressures (pure copper jacket, longer bearing surface with greater friction, and thick partition mid-bullet) than the Hornady RNSP in same brass/primer/powder combo. | |||

Strangely enough (or not for those who know me  ) selling them off as primed cases had not occurred to me.  The advise given is very sound & I totally concur with the reasoning, even though we don't suffer from rampant litigation in NZ, I was concerned to avoid any grief to anyone, hence my posting. Thanks for the words of wisdom gents, its been a help.Steve. | |||
