Anyone on 24 reloading 350gr pills in their 416 ruger? If so have you chrony'd any?
Cheers

Yes. I use 75 gr. RL-15 and get 2550 fps. A really simple load.

Sounds wonderfully effective as well, getting 2450 with the 350 TSX's in my Taylor.

Hancock27, The 350 gr. Speer Mag Tip is a little lighter constructed, so it will achieve maximum penetration, right at 2400 fps. It has the Remington ( short ) nose profile, so it should also work fine in your 416 Ruger.

The 350g Woodleigh PPs are a great bullet, but 2400 fps is about all you want to load them to. Someone did a test shooting through plywood / waterjugs and the Woodleigh 350g at 2150 fps out penetrated a 300g TSX at 2550 fps. It expanded to double it's diameter too!

I've loaded the 350 TSX and RE15...
