That stinks! I order from midway quite regularly. Even though their prices are usually higher than other places, I like the quick shipping and have always had great experience dealing with customer service. Hopefully this is Ben issue and nothing more! If this is a new policy well that’s pretty...

Thanks! I’ve been going through some cartridges and rifle platforms for her to look at this summer. The adjustable stocks on the AR rifles make it a lot easier to get her LOP setup for sure. Still thinking about a bolt gun in a chassis also. I actually really like the little 6.5 Grendel...

yeah she is still smiling about it 😂

I’ve always wanted to have a 338/06 myself. That’s a great looking rifle. I had a rebore from JES on a 9.3x62 mauser also, and I’m very happy with it.

.416 cal 300-350 gr AB I wouldn’t mind a partition in that weight class either.

Had a great season this year in Mississippi. Managed to take a 10, and 9 point, also a doe with my trusty 416 rem mag. Also another doe with the S&W model 29. But the best experience was my 7 year old daughter going with me and killing her first deer. That was the true highlight of my season...

Ok thanks, that makes sense now. I measured 92.4 on a new unfired fired case. And 97 on a fully formed improved case that’s been fired 2x. I guess the improved case has some more capacity. I was doubting the improved case was much different, but I guess there is some difference.

JD338, I came up with 97 gr of water capacity.

I was finally able to get the case capacity in water like you mentioned DrMike. I came up with 96 gr of water capacity on 2X fired Norma brass. I noticed on the quick load it said H2O capacity was 78.57 gr of water. Why is their so much difference between quick load and what I measured? Just...

I ran this same bullet with Reloader 17 at 2920 fps, and it was an excellent load. It was actually the most accurate hunting load I’ve ever had for any rifle. Groups averaged around .125” with the best being .098”

Thanks for all the help guys! I don’t remember my exact load with RL 15 was without looking through my notes, but I know it was 2610 fps. That’s what I was hoping to get too with these other powders or pretty close. I know with the improved case and RL15 I got right up at 2700 fps but backed it...

Thanks! What is GRT that you got that data from? I mainly only find load data for 400 grain bullets which I never use, I almost always use 300-350 bullets on whitetail. I’m pretty sure I have some RL17 left possibly

I’m not sure if I did it right but I weighed water capacity on my scale at home and new unified brass I got 93 gr of water and on 1X fired brass I got 97 gr water capacity

I have an old quick load saved on my phone and it says case capacity is 76.826 I’m definitely not 100% sure on my fire formed improved cases.

Can someone run a quick load for me? The powders I have to try are IMR 4166, IMR 4064, and ramshot big game. Thanks in advance for any help. 416 Taylor Speer 350 grain mag tip 25.5” barrel.

Never owned the vanguard, but I’ve owned two howa 1500’s which is same thing. They were heavy barreled versions for target rifles, but to this day they are still the two most accurate rifles I’ve ever owned.

I almost had a mauser rebored to 338/06. Ended up going 9.3x62, but 338/06 is high up the list of cartridges I want

In my experience good handloads at modern pressures it will beat the 7mm08 across the board.

If the op has 375 ruger I guess it would just be a trip through the 416 sizing die to have 416 ruger brass though. Heck I guess it’s win win either way 😁 I will say those 416’s have left some awesome impressions on whitetails lol

Gotta agree with RL338 416’s are awesome. Love my 416 Taylor improved and 416 Remington. I have made brass for my 416 Taylor imp out of 338 win mag brass, and 458 win mag. Bullets and proper headstamped brass is hard to come by these days though.
