Re: Deer and Double Rifle in the misty morning

Thanks guys.

Idahoshooter,

The customer I traded the rifle for sent me all the load data for the loaded ammo he sent with it but I haven't had a chance yet to actually run anything across my chronograph to verify the velocities and the loads.

He sent me the 210 loads and some 300gr loads and then all the loading data for the 210's the 300's and the original regulation loads done by Butch Searcy for the 400gr Woodliegh.

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).

Searcy Load:
Case: Norma
Primer: Federal 215
Powder IMR 4831, 82 grains
Bullet Woodliegh 400gr (nominal 2050 fps)

Like I said though I haven't had a chance to reload anything for it yet and run it across my chrony to verify.

Colin
