I have the following .416 Rigby ammo -
8 boxes Barnes TSX
6 boxes Barnes solids
3 boxes of Swift A-Frames
2 boxes of Woodleigh solids with the funny cap
1 box of Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claws.
40 rounds of TSX reloads for practice

I will go to Africa again and shoot this caliber.
Which do you like and why??
 
Barnes TSX, SAF's & TBBC's for nearly everything. Barnes solids and Woodleigh Hydros for elephant, the T10 and whenever the PH tells you to load solids. For a two-week to 10-day safari, I'd budget for 30 expanding & 10 solids...and you're likely to come back with most of it.

My personal preference is the Barnes TSX and Woodleigh Hydro but all of the ones you have are top shelf.
 
Send me one box of each and I will independently test them and get back to you!! Couldn’t resist!
Personally I like the A-frames because they group the best in my .416.

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

Best,

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
