Reloading .416 Weatherby Magnum

[4fifty8]

200m accuracy check

• gusty wind today not ideal conditions
• 300gr TSX @ ~3000 fps mv & 350gr TTSX @ ~2800 fps mv
• zeroed with 300gr TSX, 350gr TTSX POI close
• impressive impact on berm behind target board
• lotsa fun to fire the .416 B

Very nice. One of the only Wby rounds I have not yet played with. Hopefully one of these days.

Ballistics compared 300gr TSX vs 350gr TTSX: considerably higher downrange energies with 350gr TTSX.

H4350: 350gr and 400gr

• mild pressure loads real good muzzle speeds
• ~2600 fps mv Hornady 400gr DGX / 100gr H4350 / Fed215 / Wby brass
• ~2950 fps mv Barnes 350gr RN SOL / 110gr H4350 / Fed215 / Wby brass
• these loads safe in my rifle ONLY might not be in others
• effective muzzle brake kicks less than my .30-06

Now that right there is a sweet rifle! Would love to add one to the collection. Maybe with a bit shorter barrel….

Sure like it should get a scope with ballistic reticle this rifle has range.
