Looking for loads for my 416 Taylor.
I have a couple now for 4320 and RL15.
Any other loads or powders to suggest? BLC2? H414? RL7? Thanks for all replies.

Another semi-popular choice for the 416T is IMR 4895.

If you do an advanced search on the big bores forum for "416 Taylor" you'll probably find quite a bit of info. Lots of guys have one here.

Cheers,
Canuck

Also, don't forget about Saeed's reloading data pages...here's his data for the 416 Taylor.

That "little sucker" (if you can call an African DGR getter that) really spits those 400's out!

Went out today and got some great velocities and shot a couple of groups.
Reloader 15 3.33" OAL avg. 5 shots
350gr. Speer
74.0 - 2461fps
75.0 - 2494fps
76.0 - 2523fps 1.4" 100yds open sights

350gr. TSX
74.0 - 2459fps

400gr. Partition
70.0 - 2301fps
71.0 - 2318fps
72.0 - 2339fps 1.8" 100yds open sights

I had great results with RL15 .
300 X bullet @ 2700fps with 79.0gr
350 Speer @ 2600fps with 77.0gr.
400gr. Partition @ 2400fps with 73.0gr.

350 gr TSX and 72.5 grains of Varget-shoots under an inch in my 16" Encore handgun.

I have not mounted a scope on my rifle, so MOA is probably a dream for me without a better set of eyes!

400gr. Partition @ 2400fps with 73.0gr.

Another one reaches the mythical 2400fps.

Seems the only guys that don't get 2400fps with their Taylor's are the guys that don't actually have one.

I get 2400 with a 400gr Hornady SP with 73gr of RL 15 too. NO pressure signs either...I've even posted pics of the case head/primers to demonstrate.
