my load was 72 gr imr-4895, gave 2360 fps in a 21" barrel. That was in a nickel FC 338 mag case and a FC215 primer

The data published in Ken Waters "Pet Loads" is that a 400 gr round nose pushed by 70.0 grs of IMR 4320 is the best African game load for the .416 Taylor. 72.0 grs is maximum, and he experiences blown primers with 73.0 grs. Testing was done with a Ruger 77, 24" barrel with Winchester brass and #120 primers. Velocity is 2400 fps.
