Default 416 Rigby Cast Bullet Load

Think I've found an acceptable cast bullet load for my CZ 416 Rigby. It consists of 112 grains of AA8700, the BULL SHOP .417" diameter 350-grain flatnose gascheck bullet with a Brinell hardness of 22, what appears to be NRA-type ALOX lube, with Federal 215 primers in Jamison cases. MV was 2100 fps average. Tried 100 grains too. This 100-grain load gave 1950 FPS, was less accurate, and gave some hangfires. No hangfires with 112 grains, though!
