Just purchased a 416 Taylor - Yep seemed like a good idea !

Accurate Arms has published pressure tested data.
Other sources list H4895 and Varget giving 2300+ fps. I would like to see pressure tested data from Hodgdon
Yes, I load my 425 Express now successfully for years with H4895 too. Sadly its not available anymore around here! Great powder for Africa, all the way good performance.
 
mmm you are encouraging me - have reamers coming for a 318wr/425 wr build with quick change barrels - probably off a savage action - think stainless with baby poop Rhodesian camo over in a tactical stock !
425 WR? 425 Westley & Richards? If yes, Overthink that round, because of scarce brass, scarce bullets (dia .435), difficulties in feeding even in a Mauser action, because of the smaller rim!
 
My dies are Lee… when I built my Taylor they were pretty easy to come by… I think I got them from midway and they were only about thirty five bucks then…

Today Taylor dies seem to be unobtainium…

Yeah they are. I have wanted the Taylor ever since learning about it from you gents here. However, for this one I decided to acquire the dies first.
Good construction of a plan!
The dies are available @ Redding real time! So go for it! Those things wont get cheaper!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
