416 Hoffman
The following data was developed in a custom rifle we built on a Sako L691 action. A Lilja 25 1/2" stainless barrel was installed, and the stock was an H-S Precision. A Leupold 2.5-8 X scope was added in Sako mounts.
Remington 8mm brass was used, as well as Winchester WLRM primers in all the loads. The 400 grain Hornady loads with Reloader 15 were molly coated, the rest were not. All groups were 3 shots at 100 yards.
