Received a box of these a few years ago on a trade. I finally obtained a 416 Remington (M=70) and want to use these up, but can't find any reloading data. Anyone know a decent load for these bullets, or where i can find data? As always thanks for any help.

From Barnes Reloading Manual Number 3:
Case - Remington, Primer - 215, Barrel - 24"
AA 2520 - 69.0 to 74.0 gn 2413 fps
RL 15* - 73.0 to 78.0 gn 2489 fps
H4895* - 69.0 to 74.0 gn 2405fps
H380 - 76.0 to 81.0 gn 2392 fps
IMR 4320 - 69.0 to 74.0 gn 2374
IMR 4064 - 69.0 to 74.0 gn 2410 fps
* Recommended powder

This should get you started.

Cheers,
Walt
 
I don’t reload so I am unsure.

But Id imagine if you just worked up from a light load from TSX 400gr .416 data it wouldn't be that different but not certain.

Those are the old (problematic) smooth shanked original X bullets and are a lot different from the more recent banded shank bullets. The reloading data is not the same and results will not be the same.
 
Thanks to all for the replies. I have the Barnes manual (#4), but it doesn't list these bullets. I will not be using them for anything more dangerous than paper.
Barnes sent me the data from the #3 manual, but there is no data on this particular bullet.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
