416 Ruger load data???

M70375! · Thursday at 7:14 AM

I just put a deposit down on a new Parkwest Arms Savannha, but I haven't decided on caliber. It will be either 416 Rem, Taylor or Ruger, I already have a Rem in a Kimber Caprivi, so I would like to get the Ruger or Taylor, less powder needed and less recoil and a shorter action, but I can not find load data anywhere for the Ruger. Does anyone know where to find it or have any they would be willing to share?
Thanks

The Hornady manual has reloading data for all or the Ruger cartridges.

There are a number of sites online that provide load data collated from factory sources

Free but you can make a contribution: https://shootersreference.com/reloadingdata/416-ruger/

This is from a 416 Ruger out of a Ruger guide gun

Buffalo bore ammo shoots so well out of it that I’m not going to reload

what grain bullet and velocity

Open the picture and it will show you underneath. Hundred yards, 400 grain barnes TSX at 2420 ft./s.

The 2420 is a six shot average

Hornady 416 Ruger Brass Box of 50

Hornady produces brass with the same precision, attention to detail and focus on perfection that has made them a world leader in bullets. They measure...

Midway has 416 Ruger brass in stock right now. It's $73 for 50 pieces. Consider buying several hundred pieces now while they're available. Availability is intermittent and that's the only downside I see to this. The accuracy on the 2 416 rugers I own, a Guide gun and an African, is so good that it stopped me from buying the 416 Remington

Speer manual has it also.

what grain bullets are you using and what velocity are you getting with what powder charge

The Buffalo bore shoots so well that I'm not going to reload for this rifle at this point. I am set up to reload with brass, bullets, dies, etc, but am not sure that I can do better.

Perhaps others will chime in
