416 Ruger Load Data Needed

[bisley32]

Anyone have any load data for a 350gr cast gas checked bullet in a 416 Ruger? I bought a Lyman manual thinking it would have it, but no luck. Thanks in advance B32.

According to Hodgdon, one can basically fill the case to where the bullet is seated with TrailBoss and go from there. I'm working on a similar project with my 375 Ruger Mossberg Patriot. I'd contact Hodgdon and see what they recommend. Bob!!

416 ruger is listed in one of my manuals for 350 grain jacked bullet. You could use the starting load and go from there.
If you are interested let me know.

Bob, that would be very helpful. I'm not having any luck at all with my search. Thanks, B32.

I used to load the 350 RCBS cast bullet over 55 grains of Accurate 5944 in my 416 Remington M70. It had the recoil of a 30-06 in that M70 African. I don't know if 5944 is still available, but it was Accurate's answer to SR 4759, another cast bullet powder. Bob!
