Is being pulled for drilling. Going to be in hand before long

Reminds me of the time I built a 1-8" 378 Weatherby...

And a 1-9" 404 Jeffery....

What's on the docket?

416 Remington

You going to be looking at some long heavy Hammer bullets in that rig?

I love my 416 Rem, an outstanding medium bore round.

Maybe. Should shoot everything well and keep 400 grain mono solid penetrating straight as an arrow

Torque will be more than a 12 or 14.

Barrel is ready and shipping today.

Excellent news, what action are you building on?

Interarms Whitworth MarkX Mauser action

New barrel has arrived! Now for the gunsmith to work his magic

What critters are planned?

Ed i don't have any specific plans for animals at this time. Simply playing with loads and penetration testing.

Velocity with the new barrel, 94 gr CFE223, 350 gr Speer

Watch that setup, you will get scoped!!!

You might, but I won't.

Yea I was going to say that, everyone holds a gun different and I would get hit the first shot.

Dang speedy for the Li'l .416 RemMag with 350-grainers.
CFE-223 wins again.
About just over 2700 fps MV, perfect for even a .416 Rigby.
The .416 Weatherby does only about 2850 fps MV in real life.
Plenty of room to move that scope forward.
I learned to live with tunnel vision and have no scars.
Who says you gotta see the full field of view anyway?

Yep, i'd grab some 400gr CEB #13's and the appropriate Hemmer bullet and see what can be done, that's going to be a very hard slapper, my dinky 400 H&H powers 400gr CEB solids and A-Frames to 2400 fps with Varget, you can get a lot more done with your setup.

97 grains of 2000MR, 350 grain Speer

That’ll leave a mark!

OK, I figured out that 93 grains of 2000MR was at the base of the 350 TSX with lite compression. Loaded the 93 grains and recorded 2715 FPS, that's close enough and that bullet will take anything
