What did you reload today?

[Cooposo]

Pictured is my new production Win Model 70 in 416 Rem Mag. I wanted to start out with a “lighter” load to get used to shooting it, as I’ve never shot anything with more recoil than a 12 gauge duck load out of my Beretta 686. With no factory options for a lighter load, I decided to start from scratch with components. I’ve never done this before; usually my first rounds through a rifle are factory loads. Working from the Hodgdon data I loaded up the 300 gr Barnes TSX with H335 at a starting charge of 79 grains (listed velocity of 2618 FPS). The only hiccup was bulging the neck of my dummy rounds out a bit with the flat base of the bullet. For my live rounds I champfered the inside of the case mouth and I took things a lot slower with seating the bullets. No more bulging. Finished product looked great and shot great.

375H&H with NF 250 grain SS. Found the sweet spot with H4350 powder. Light recoil, good velocity and I think very accurate. I hope this will be the rifle and cartridge my wife uses when we go to MOZ in 2027. Plains game for her, no DG.

Did a big batch of .300 Win Mag with Federal 215s, H-4831SC, and 190gr HVLDs. Also .260 AI with 210s, H-4350, and 140gr HVLDs. The Bergers aren’t my very favorite hunting bullet, but man do they shoot well.

44 magnum. A 260 grain Keith (H&G 503 clone) over 10 grains of BE-86. Gives me 1050 out of the 4” 29.
