[QUOTE="nw07heavy, post: 2215789, member: 43498"] For anyone wondering about using Cutting Edge Safari Solid Bullets in a .416/375 RUM, I just tested the 400 grain version using 96.0 grains of RE-17, and the load produced 2,722 FPS (corrected for at time current ambient conditions, station pressure, and the 18 feet muzzle to chrono) in my 24" Montana AVG (.416/375 RUM). This yielded about 6,582 FT/LBS energy. With the Nosler 400 grain Partition, my same powder load yielded 2,671 FPS and around 6,335 FT/LBS. The brass CEB Bullet provided a velocity increase of roughly 51 FPS. Both loads were very easy extraction with no pressure signs in my rifle . If you intend to use RE-17 and these bullets make sure you start at least 15% lower charge weights and safely work up to a safe load for your particular modern rifle. [/QUOTE]
