416 Taylor
We developed the following data in a custom rifle built on the Sako L691 action. A Dan Lilja stainless, fluted barrel was finished at 25 1/2" and installed. We stocked it in an H-S Precision stock, and a Leupold 2.5-8 X scope was installed in Leupold mounts.
We used Remington 458 Winchester magnum brass, and the Winchester WLRM primers in all the loads. Groups are 3 shots at 100 yards.
