Very impressive results in all accounts. Doesn’t sound like a very fun load to shoot but it ought to be pretty effective on game.

The 300 grain Shock Hammer in the 416 Remington at 3001 FPS will leave a mark that Ajax, Mr Clean and Oxyclean can't get out

How's the recoil compare to standard 300 or 350 grain bullets?
Curious if the lower engraving pressure of Hammers feels different to the shooter.
Regardless, looks like a great load.

My 416 started life as a Interarms Whitworth in 375 H&H. so it is a rather lite well balanced rifle. With 400 grain loads at 2457 FPS the recoil is a good bit less than the 300 grain Shock Hammer @ 3001 FPS. |

What advantage would the 350 Swift have? I have loads for the 350 Speer that gets 2757 FPS and 2715 FPS for the 350 TSX

Better penetration and better accuracy. At least they shot better in my 416 Taylor. I one shot a record book black bear and a cape buffalo with my 416.
