I was finally able to get bullets from my RCBS 416-400 mold lubed, sized, and loaded. Since I wasn't interested in a full house loading, I opted to use IMR 7383 for the powder as it was bulky and I have several jugs on hand. 60 grains of this powder filled the case to the base of the seated bullet and it was lit by a Federal 210 primer.
The first surprise was that the POI at 100 yards was the same as my full house hunting load using the Speer 350 bullet propelled by RL-17.
The other shocker was the accuracy:
291433
I've since loaded up additional rounds with different seating depth to see if I can shrink the groups even further.
Can't wait to take this load on Texas pig hunting safari.
