I'm a Speer Gold Dot guy, but it's nice to see that there are other choices that perform well.

Be sure to try the 40 gr Nosler VG and 300MP powder in your Hornet. It's magic in mine. John

I'm seeing H4350 locally for far less than that. I'm wondering if the manufacturers are having retailers "bid" on available powder and some pay elevated prices just to have something on the shelf to sell.

There are some impressive YouTube videos of the weather available for viewing.

If there are "seconds" for someone living in Oregon, please let me know. John

I have a 35 Whelen, 35 Whelen AI, a 375 Whelen AI, and a 9.3x63mm all on Mauser actions. Of those, the 9.3 is my go to rifle. Just sayin... John

Let's not all jump on him and beat him down..... On second thought, that's exactly what he deserves.

All this high tech.... My old school barrel bobed and suppressed 581 Remington toys with MOA accuracy off the bench at 100 yards with Norma TAC 22 subsonic on a calm day and even better with R50. Not saying this is the be all 22 rimfire, but that old rifle can stack them into a tight group...

I have only found speed with these bullets, the accuracy is marginal.

If I push it hard, I can get a 150 LRAB going 2700 fps out of the 20" barrel of my 700Ti

GRT => Gordon's Reloading Tool is like Quickload, but is free and not as comprehensive. My 416 Taylor sports a 24" barrel, but 83.6 gr of RL-17 pushing a 350 Speer GS delivers 2622 fps and 5344 fpe in my rifle. It's a max load, and you really don't need to load it that hard to get performance in...

Greetings from another 416 Taylor owner. GRT shows these max loads with a 25.5" barrel: 72.0 IMR 4064 2527 fps 73.0 IMR 4166 2528 fps 79.0 RS Big Game 2560 fps If you can find some RL-17 it really makes the Taylor hum.

5.5 lbs according to a different spec sheet I found. If you were looking for a compact rifle for a float plane, it might have a purpose. Personally I'd opt for an additional 18 ounces and take my Rem 700 Ti in 7mm-08

Rikers Island Room for 1 Please.....

I have the same rifle in my safe. One rifle to rule them all.....
