And now for a few selected loads for the 416 Taylor using some of the above cast bullets.

My best load for the RCBS bullet at the moment is 25 grains of Blue Dot, Fed 215M primers, reformed Hornady 458 cases.
This load shot groups around the inch mark at 100 metres and chrono'd at 1526 fps.

The load with the LBt bullet was 38 grains of Reloder 7, giving a velocity of 1544 fps.

The NEI round nose bullet performed best with 45 grains of AR 2206H (H4895) at a velocity of 1556 fps.

To start with, I'll try a load around the 1500-1600 fps mark, most rifles seem to perform well around that mark and you can tell what's likely to happen at that speed. The rifle seems to go well without any leading issues at that speed, not that you would expect leading either.
When time permits, I'm going to try to get a more respectable velocity out of it, I'd like to get a 400 grainer around the 2200 fps mark if I can. I've had 350 grainers doing 2350 fps from my 500 Jeffery without leading.

My lube of choice on smokeless loads is LBT Blue soft, and I only use gas checks from Larry Blackmon at Gator-Checks.

For interest, my jacketed load in this rifle is 66 grains of AR 2208 (Varget) with a 400 grain Woodleigh, doing 2362 fps average. It has a 26" barrel BTW.

As usual, these loads are safe in my rifle etc, etc.

Anyone got any other 416 calibre cast bullet loads, not only for a Taylor, but any 416 cal cartidge?

Regards,
David.
