Guys, I'm sure thinking about having one of these made. I've contacted jnrifleworks.com seems like a great guy. He was very helpful. Does any one have a program they can run and tell me what type of proformance I can expect out of a 19' to 20" tube with 325,350 and 400grn bullets. thanks liled | ||

You would be better served with a 24"barrel,no 416 is a carbine round.Your burning alot of powder,to get that bullet up to snuff.One thing for sure,you can hunt big game,anyware in the world. | |||

Liled, I'll look at the 416 jamison for you. this will only require a short barrel for full expansion, as this is way UNDER bore. jeffe | |||

20" bbl on a 416 = good idea. You won't get Rigby performance, but I bet you aren't expecting that anyway. I'd say 2400+ with a 300g would be reasonable. | |||

I have a bolt-action 450 Marlin with a 22" barrel and I don't have any problem getting 2500fps with the 300gr Nosler Partition....and my case is a lot smaller than a 416/300wsm. I know several shooters who have custom 416 Lazzeroni Marericks which is John Lazzeroni's short 30-cal Patriot necked up to .416 and they are getting 2300+ fps with 400gr bullets (22" barrels) without any signs of pressure....the WSM should get just about that with a similar length barrel. You might contact Mark Bansner as I believe he has built several of these for clients. | |||

Ken Ewing (over on JGBS@YahooGroups.com ) is building a .416 WSM on an MRC action as we speak. He is throating particularly for a very large meplat 350 gr. Mountain Mould cast bullet he designed. Computer shows that 350 gr. bullet at 2,150 fps as a mild load. AC | |||

I have a .416 wildcat that my grandpa created. It's on a sa 700 that was a 6.5 rem. I use 7mm rem cases cut to 51mm in length. I get 2200 fps with 330 grainers and 52 grains of RL 7. I'm using 300 grainers too but have not chronographed them yet. It has a 22'' barrel | |||
