[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1443518, member: 12443"] Well its a pretty popular cartridge in PA. Many guys are using 250s for the extra velocity, the 300s don't start to pay off till about 1500, which is further than most shooting is done at deer in PA anyway. With 300s average seems to be right around 3000 fps with 30" barrels, with the 416 case the same. My son uses 300s in his on the Wby case, and 106 gr Retumbo runs max about 2975 with a 30". 110 gr of the old h570 is about the same, but with slightly better accuracy. Those are the best in his gun. My BIL has a 36" on a 416 case, and 3050 is what he gets for an accurate load using H50bmg. Both guns built by Bruce Baer. I don't think you would get the bolt open with that velocity, and for sure a new case would be trash if you did. [/QUOTE]
