Hey guys, anyone have any load data for Cutting Edge 500 grain safari solids and Vihtavuori N550?

Vihtavuori sent me load data stating 103.2 grains is the max and would yield 2,487 muzzle velocity, but at 104 grains, I’m still about 100 FPS less…
 
Several months later and not the right bullet but it’s something.

I would shoot g’s custom 450 grain fn solids right at 2600 fps using 110.7 grains of n550.
I can’t say what absolute max would have been but this wasn’t it of course. Probably around 116 grains but that’s really just a guess.
103 grains was ~2415. Again that’s a 450 grain.

Now this was also using Winchester mag primers. I’ve since been fortunate to acquire federal primers to use for this cartridge.

Hey mate,
How are you?
Have really enjoyed reading your thread on the 416WSM... really good stuff!
Hey, I noticed that you were at the SSAA Eagle Park range... where about in Australia are you?
Just asking because l'm based in Geelong and l frequent Eagle Park a bit too.
Next time your down, let me know if you want to catch up and say hi (y)
Take care bud

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
