Anyone using the 350 grain Speer Mag Tip with IMR 4895 in the 416 Taylor? I would appreciate some data, thanks.

heavy varmit,

I haven't tried anything in my .416 Taylor except RL-15 under a 400 Hornady. Try this link out...some neat stuff on the Taylor

I just finished reshooting my 350 magtip/h4895 loads and am putting together the information. Should have it ready soon. I'm also in the middle of working up some 350gr cast bullet loads. Have some that are showing promise in the 2000 fps range and will include that information later after the loads verified.

Some of my data is probably pushing up near max loads but none have been anywhere near the danger level in my gun. With magtips, the max velocity is in the 2575 range with both h4895 and RL15.

If you are interested in the information, I'll send you a link to it once its finished. Let me know.

Thanks TXPO and cgdavid for the info. I worked up from 72 to 75 grains of IMR 4895 today over a chroney with no pressure signs. The 75 grain load chroney'd at 2,555 wich is in the ballpark of what I was looking for.

cgdavid, I would appreciate very much if you would share your load info with me when you get it together.

Finally got that data put together:

Don't be put off by the warning stuff. I put that there for the... well, you probably know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, hope you find it useful. I'll add more as I gather it.

I have been working up some loads for my 416 Taylor- These are some of the best to date:

Bullet Powder Primer Group
350 FNGC 26gr XMP5744 WLR .625
350 Mag Tip 69 gr Acc 2520 WLRM .500
400 Horn RN 58.8 gr Acc 2520 WLRM .625

Any questions let me know.
