I am looking for a good proven load for 400-410 grain bullets in the 416 Rigby using H1000 or H4350 powder. Thanks in advance.

I would forget about the H100 (AR2217) and stick with the H4350 (AR2209)

I use 94 grains of AR2209 (H4350) with 400 and 410 grain bullets. All throw to the same point of impact in my rifle. 400 and 410grain soft points 2450 fps 400grai Hydros 2550fps.

The slower powders recoil noticeably harder than the H4350 does.
 
Thanks for all the replies and the pages from the manual. Regards Mike

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
