Ol BullTry Bertram,I beleive they have it. As for data i got this from RIFLE mag.#187,220 gr. Speer and 64grs. of IMR-4831. The article was written by Ken Waters. I hope this helps. I have a 350 G&H Imp. and truley love it!!!!

Mike375Sparticus,
It is basically a 375 H&H necked down but a rimless case.
Bertram lists brass, but that might be soft but would probably be OK if you duplicated original loads as they are only about 35 Whelan standard.
I am suprised with the interest in the 416 Rigby that more interest is not shown in the 350 Rigby. They are a natural pair.
I think American Hunting Rilfes list the 350 Rigby as a chambering.

<Sparticus>Thanks for the information. I now have a direction to go. I already have the barrel and I was thinking of an Argentine Mauser action. I can get the reamer and gauges. An I do believe Redding or CH can do the dies. Mark
