Oh Wayne, now don't get me wound up. Big rifles are really my sick passion :grin:
My Talor with a short barrel (19") did really well with the 350 gr bullets.

Easy to do 2300 fps from that barrel. Nice to shoot too. No problem getting 2400 fps in fall weather with a 22/24 inch barrel I suspect. I have a lot of load data that you are welcome to, I just need to go dig it up.
Cheap conversion is buy any of the new Winchesters with a magnum bolt and rebarrel.
Mine was a stainless synthetic. It feed great with the spitzers.

This is the 416 Taylor web page! Enjoy! My rifles and the reloading info I shared is on there. I have more loads and can be specific on the bullets if you like.
Forgot to add, the Jefferies is a great case to wildcat, not much to shoot in comparison to what is available. It is reliable, has little recoil and feeds well. Those three things are why the round was used so much and so many rifles were built for it I suspect. Reliability and durability....sound like a familar matra? Dangerious game rifles and 1911s have a lot in common.
