416 Rigby powder using Barnes 400 Grs TSX

[50Gunner]

H-4350 with 350 and 400gr TSX's, I loaded mine to near 416 WBY levels, you can start if you wish with a chronograph and 94gr H-4350 under 400gr TSX, work up to what your rifle and shoulder likes ; ]

I used Norma brass and FED-215 primers, a very versatile and powerful hunting round with rich, rich African hunting history, one of my all time favorites, if a man was so inclined, 350gr TTSX's at 2800+ fps is a 400 yard ALL game ANYWHERE load.

The 416 Rigby is so versatile that you can lean on it or throttle back a bit and get great results on anything. My Dakota likes 92.0 grains of H4350 with 400 TSX and the loads are never an issue in hot weather. I have never recovered one on buff. If you limited me to one gun/load in Africa, that would be it. I have thought about playing with the 350 TSX but so far I'm real happy with the 400's.
