New unfired Hornady Brass, Federal 215 primers on all cartridges.
The standard WARNING: These loads seemed fine in my rifles.
Only the 375 Ruger load is specifically listed in a manufacture's reloading data This is the maximum load currently listed on Barnes' website for the 270 grain LRX bullet.
The 458 Lott, Hammer Bullets 404 grain Shock Hammer bullet load is based off the Swift Number 2 Reloading Manual referencing the 400 grain A-Frame. Swift's maximum load was 77 grains.
The 416 Ruger 350 TSX load is based on long ago communications with someone that Barnes put me in touch with. A great guy that wrote for European sporting magazines and did lots of work with the 416 Ruger. This load is 1.5 grains under his maximum. A rather moderate load that has been Very accurate in at least three 416 Rugers.
The 416 Ruger 350 grain TTSX load was based off the Speer Number 15 Reloading Manual referencing the 350 Speer bullet. This is several grains under their maximum.
-----------------------------------------------
458 Lott, and 416 & 375 Rugers:
Several shots did not register. I believe I registered several from an adjacent shooter and culled those.
