Loads for.416 Remington Magnum

Post by Rod »

I bought myself a new R8 PH. The barrels with her 375H&H and.416 Remington Mag. The rifle is still in the shop while I wait for the permit. :roll: :whistle:

Anyway this is the first 416 Remington I’ve had. Looking for a load. Preferably with ADI powders. I’ve got a few hundred 400 and 410 grain Woodleighs and just as many Bertram’s in the same weight sitting on the bench.

So, what are your recommendations.

I was using 82 grains of 2209 with 400gr Woodleigh.
Velocity was about 2290fps from memory. Accuracy was good.

Apologise for it being upside down. It isn’t in native.

I have been using 73gn of 2208 with Woodleigh & Hornady 400gn bullets. This is in my Mauser, not a Blaser. But is not a hot load and should work fine. I didnt crony this, so dont have a velocity.
