Re: 416 Ruger loads

Enter the New Hornady 9th Edition Manual

The new Hornady manual (I just checked my new copy) has 11 different powders loaded from minimum to maximum loads. One needs a copy of the conversion chart from ADI or Hodgdon or visa/vis to see the actual ADI powders used. They only list 400gr. bullets, from 400gr. Interlock RN, 400gr. DGS and 400gr. DGX- all the same data.

One is Varget, but being a relatively fast powder, Hornady only went as high as 2,150fps with it. Start at 60.8gr. for 2,000fps and shows a maximum of 68.1gr. at 2,150fps.

That is the only ADI powder I see listed.

Other powders are H335, IMR4320, VihtV N-140, Win 748, RL#15, Big Game, PowerPro 2000 MR, Win760/H414, IMR4007 SSC, AC 2700.

Only the Powerpro goes as high as 2,350fps.

They used a 20" bl. Ruger Hawkeye for load development.

Their data is most likely available on-line. go to their web site. www.hornady.com or something like that.
