    I cant comment so much. I have a 416 rem mag and only ever put one 400gr (came with the gun) down range.
    My mate fired the other one and its the only gun he can remember that gave him a bruise (very slight I may add) on one shot.
    350gr barnes X point coppers on two cattle beasts and a stag. Only fire forming loads from 375 hh brass so wouldn't be much past 2000 if at all. Under one inch group at a hundy though for 3 shots. So all up could recommend them
    Loaded up some 340gr woodleighs and got them out past 2500fps across mates chrony. They are definitely snappier than the barnes but never sighted the gun in for them and never shot anything with them.
