Picked up a bunch these to use in the 416 WBY for plinking. 2CADA546-2462-4CAA-8F16-8AD393EF4DA2.jpeg
Today I ran a velocity ladder with Hodgdon Hybrid 100V with Tubb Dust in some 1x WBY brass I found. BF51BCA2-7A68-4F32-8EB0-C66B8E688AA7.jpeg 4F8E6DB8-0D41-4070-BE74-A948088E400B.jpeg
One thing I noticed this powder runs cool in the barrel , 4 shots the barrel wasn’t terribly hot as usual. The last 4 on the ladder started to pressure out , primer good , bolt lift good , but started to see some light ejector marks. 109 - 110 grains is where I will look at.

That's a good bullet. I shoot them in my 416 Wby charged with H4350.

I had good luck with them in the 416 Taylor with Re-15 and H4895. Would produce 1/2" groups @ 100 yrds.
 
One of the most accurate bullets I've used in my 416 taylor improved. They are hard to find now though, and im out lol. I had excellent expansion at 2600 fps. He here deer killed with it this year.

Yep its nice lol. I really like those 350 gr magtips, but I have not found any in stock since last spring. So I been using 300 and 350 barnes in both 416's. Since that's about all I can find sometimes.

That’s a stopper for sure. I’m wondering what another 300fps would do. I sent an email to Speer but haven’t heard back yet on what velocity these bullets can handle.

Im sure 300 more fps will be an awesome display of power [emoji16]

Not the same bullet but the 350gr .458 Hot-Cor is one tough and accurate bullet from my 22” barreled 1895.

I'll have to use my 416 Wby this summer on a crop damage deer. I'm running the Speer 350 gr Mag Tip at 2900 fps. Should be impressive.

Follow up on these , 109grs of Hybrid 100V is where I will leave these 058975A1-E0BE-4A16-88ED-EF31CF8161F5.jpeg
Picture is rotated 90* clockwise. I left my zero from my 350 TTSX load.
109.5 isn’t the worst 3FA110FE-DB1B-43C0-BF7D-A342459430A6.jpeg
 
Appears you have found your sweet spot. Either of those loads will work.
 
I’m really wanting to see the wounds these leave at that speed. I can only imagine that it is spectacular. Heck I was tremendously impressed with mine at 2600 FPS, I can’t even imagine 2900 FPS.

That is still some serious damage every time I see that picture. These were for plinking to save my stock of Barnes. With the point of impact just left from my Barnes load ,who knows they might make out woods.

I have been catching some Barnes every now and then. Had a pretty mild load with the 300 tsx last season at 2712 FPS in the 416 rem with imr 4166.Had really good expansion. Had a great load with that bullet and RL 15 at 2832 fps, but ran out of RL15 [emoji30]. Next season gonna try the 350 TTSX at 2530 FPS. I will eventually get to the 400 grainers to try.

Blew the dust off the 416 Weatherby. Speer 350 gr Mag Tips at 2900 fps. They were a little rough on the AR500 gong at 100 yards. I also shot the 250 yard gong and it dented the back. 6500 fpe is impressive!

AR500 isn't good with any magnum at 100yds. I dented 3/8" with my 300WM at 300yds. I had a friend that use to shoot holes to hang his AR500 plates with his 470 Capstick.

I've killed a handful of elk and deer with the 350 MagTips at 2650 from my 416 Rem. I killed my cow moose and a couple other critters here in ID with the 300X bullets at 2960fps
