I used 300 grain bullets in my .416 Weatherby's up to 3080fps both in the .049" copper jacked Barnes Originals and X bullet versions and they were fine. At the lower velocities mentioned by the OP I'd not give it another thought. Use them.


When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Adding to my 416 Ruger 20in 300 TSX w 2000MR above.

80-86gr single round chrono range 2509-2662 fps. Normal bolt lift and compared to factory all 416 primers look the same - a bit flattened. These are not compressed until about 82 gr

My interest was a general purpose hunting load so 80 gr gives 2500 [email protected] 4150flb muzzle and @ 200yd about 2000 [email protected] 2850flb. Similar to 450 Marlin.

Distinguishing 300 vs 350 TSX loads wo weighing might be the powder rattle. I have some plastic beads that almost fit the cavity.

And a shout out to Alaska Arms LLC for QD rings and Burris for Ruger red dot & mount for simple transition between scope, red dot and irons.

Good to see the 2000-MR worked for you.
I am definitely a big fan of the Alaska Arms rings.
