big boomers at the range today
Hi Guys,

I took out the 416 Taylor, 416 Remington Magnum, 458 Lott, and the 470 Capstick today.

Oehler said the following:

416 Taylor 13 inch barrel (with brake 15" OAL) 400 gr bullet average of 2032 fps.

416 Remingotn Magnum 13 inch barrel (with brake 15" OAL) 400 gr bullet average 2197 fps (did have one measure 2205 though)

458 Lott 13.5 inch barrel (with brake 16" OAL) 500 gr bullet 1854 fps

470 Capstick 13.5 inch barrel (with brake 16" OAL) 400 gr bullet 2187 fps

470 Capstick 13.5 inch barrel (with brake 16" OAL) 500 gr bullet 2111 fps

I was disappointed in the Lott performance but
the powder I used was not one of the best according to Hornady's reloading manual
will be trying a different powder in the near future.
Also would like to try 600 grs. bullet for the Capstick in the near.

Next is to compare my 375-06 JDJ, 375 H&H Magnum, and my 375 Ruger (when the barrel shows up).

That's it,
BTH

Bobby,

I wasn't trying for accuracy I was looking at velocity only so the target was set at only 50 yards just for a aiming point so I won't shot the Oehler. And yes my hand and wrist are still a little sore.

Bill,

I will try to post a picture of a couple of them
tomorrow.

I can't see any pictures at all.

Once you get around to accuracy testing, I would be very interested in how these barrels do.
