Having not shot my new 416 Rigby at game, I have a couple of questions:

1. 350 grain Barnes TSX - At what velocity do these bullets perform best?

2. My rifle is a Ruger Magnum, LNIB, it seems to me that this cartridge and rifle combination could be loaded to near 416 Weatherby velocity. I'm sure this comment will cause a lot of negative comments and there's little use in asking for none. But what are your top loads with the Rigby?

3. I have quite a few 400 grain solids and 350 grain Barnes. I plan on using hard cast bullets loaded to approximate 2,000 fps for white tail. I think 5744 might be a good powder for such, anyone have favorite loads for these?

4. Any other suggested bullets/loads?

Thanks in advance.



I prefer classic.
