I should have looked it up before I commented, I was wrong about my light load. I'm using 210gr not 185's. The Regulation Load: Case: Norma Primer: Federal 215 Powder: IMR 4831 82grs Bullet: Woodliegh 400gr Soft 2050FPS The Bullets for the other loads are: Hornady 41Cal(.410) 210gr XTP's and Hornady Interlock 405 Caliber(.411) 300gr Flat Nose Below is the load data I was provided with the rifle: Caliber: .450-400 NE 3” (400 Jeffery) Barrel length: 24 to 26” Powder: Accurate -- 5744. Bullet weight: 210 grains. Reduced load: 37.0 grains (1650 – 1750 ft/p/sec) Midrange load: 47.0 grains (2200 – 2300 ft/p/sec) Maximum load: 60.0 grains (2750 – 2850 Ft/p/sec) Bullet weight: 300 grains. Reduced load: 36.0 grains (1650 – 1750 ft/p/sec) Midrange load: 50.0 grains (2175 – 2275 ft/p/sec) Maximum load: 55.0 grains (2275 – 2375 Ft/p/sec). Bullet weight: 350 grains. Reduced load: 33.0 grains (1550 – 1650 ft/p/sec) Midrange load: 44.0 grains (1850 – 1950 ft/p/sec) Maximum load: 52.0 grains (2100 – 2200 Ft/p/sec). Bullet weight: 400 grains. Reduced load: 30.0 grains (1400 – 1500 ft/p/sec) Midrange load: 40.0 grains (1700 – 1800 ft/p/sec) Maximum load: 49.0 grains (1900 – 2000 Ft/p/sec). Edited to add: I'm using a felt fiber filler. Just enough to seat the bullet with a very light compression. I haven't tried anything in the 350gr range, I figure with the 210, the 300 and the 400 I am pretty well covered. Hope this helps, Colin |
