I've got some .416 450 Match Hunters that I cut various lengths off of to see how long they would be at different weights. The jacket is .030" thick. I think the 325s and 350 are the same, but not certain.

I don't remember what jacket he was wanting to use....he was up for suggestions...my question was more about NOT pencil holing.....with a .416 its over I guess whatever it is,lol....they have a little different bark than the .458's that's or sure.....nothing but bad a$$$....

I hope to find out this year, I would think .030 will work well but only time will tell...

The .458 MH's have a .028" jacket, I think. So maybe that's the thickness of the 416 MH's?
