Need .416 Rem. load info.

Glenner · April 20, 2008, 08:22 AM

I just purchased a Ruger #1 in .416 Rem., it came with dies and brass. I have not picked it up yet, so I'd like to get some loading info from guys with experience loading this cartridge before I do anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Don't wanna sound like I'm chastising you, but a really good place to start would be to pick up a reloading manual. Remember that well-worn phrase of "...safe in my gun, not necessarily yours...". Nothing wrong with comparing your worked-up load to someone else's, but looking for a recipe to try outright probably isn't the best thing to do...

KDM, I hear you, you're right. I will start with the loading manual. I was hoping to get some insight from a .416 Rem loader that could help me with their experience, if there are some tricks to the trade with this caliber, I'd like to get a head start.
Thanks for your input!

You could go to nolser.com. For the 400gr. partition, shows imr 4064, varget and rl-15.
Lists about 2500 mv, rl-15 with 81 grains. max load.
Compares almost identical to my 1981 #2 manual.
