However, for your interest, here are some loads we worked up during testing of the 350 grain SN RN and PP.
350gr RN 68 grains H4350 Federal 215 primer 2300 fps
" " 70 grains " " " " 2345 fps
" " 72 grains " " " " 2363 fps
" " 74 grains " " " " 2375 fps
350 grain PP 72 grains H4350 Federal 215 primer 2380 fps
" " " 73 grains " " " " 2250 fps
H414 is similar burning rate to H4350, so your 70 grains load should give about 2345 fps.
Regards,
Geoff McDonald.

Do you have any accuracy results to post? RJW

Hodgdon's H4350 is AR2209.
Cheers...

I used 66 grs. of RL-15 and the absolutly fantastic Woodleigh 350 gr. RN and PPs on buffalo last year in Tanzania, along with the 450 gr. 416 Rem and they are the hammer of Thor on buff..
The PP will penitrate a bit better than the RN but the RN opens up to a larger cross section, I prefer the PP I think...
I believe I was the first to test these bullets on Cape Buffalo...They mushroom perfectly every time..I have shot 9 Buffalo with these bullets and I feel the 350 gr. bullet puts the old 375 in the 416 class, and the 450 gr. 416 rates right up there with the 458 Lott or close enough for goverment work  ..
Now if I can just get Geoff to make a flat nose solid, we'll be in the pound seats with the lighter calibers.

Can you comment on the pressure and/velocity for the 375 with 350 grainers?

I posted this over on AR but I wanted to post it here also.
Load data from the Barnes Bullets - Reloading Manual Number One (Copyright 1992) for the .375 H&H Mag using the 350gr Barnes Original bullet. This is a lead core bullet; NOT an "X" bullet. It's similar in construction to the Woodleigh. While the Barnes Original is not the same bullet as the Woodleigh, of course, it should be possible to at least use this data as a guideline.
Note: I do not know what kind of pressure testing Barnes did for Manual Number One. It's not stated in the manual. Under the notes for the .375 H&H, the manual states: "When shooting for this manual, we used Barnes brass, Federal 215 primers and a 26 inch barrel." Usual caveats apply about starting below max and working up.

Is there a difference in H4350 and IMR 4350?

Bonanza,
IMR4350 is slightly faster than H4350. The difference amounts to about a 0.75% - 1% lower charge weight of IMR4350 than H4350.

I have tried all these loads with the 350 gr. Woodleigh and the new Rhino bullets which is longer than the woodleighs, and found most of them to be severely compacted...
I finally came to the conclusion that H4895 is the best powder to use as it is only lightly compacted and it gets excellent velocity, the highest so far, but I have more work to do with it...
It matters little from the bench, but on safari I do not want compacted powder...
