Got my eye on a nice Mk V Safari and was wondering what a good powder would be for 350-400gr bullets. Alliant powders seem to be almost impossible to find these days, so RL22 might not be possible.

416 Wby is my favorite hunting rifle , you will enjoy the rifle. Unfortunately I mainly run RL-26 in mine , bought a case of it when I got the rifle. I did work with Hybrid 100V with the 350gr Mag Tips. If you do a search on this forum I have most of my load work up on here.

I had good results with H4350. The Speer 350 gr Mag Tips at 2900 fps and the 400 gr PT at 2700 fps.

What bullets are you intending on using? By far the Barnes 350gr TTSX is my favorite.
I do have an open 8lber of H4350 now. Might have to go back and revisit the 416 with it.
