I am looking for load data on a 416 Rigby using a Barnes 350 TSX. Conley Precision loads them, but I haven't found load data anywhere on the net and am sure Conley wouldn't be incline to divulge this either. Contacted Barnes with no response days ago.

My friend is going to reload them for me as I don't have the reloading equipment, just the dies I got when I bought the rifle.

Any leads on where to find this or load data would be greatly appreciated.

I use a very moderate load for the 350 Barnes X ... 98.0 grains of IMR 4350 on Norma cases with Fed 215 primers.


In my CZ 550 Safari Mag it gave an average velocity of 2687 fps, energy of 5616 lb-ft and held an 1 1/4" at 200 yards.

Used it to kill a Gemsbock in RSA last year. It literally stunned the big stallion ... he staggered a few yards and dropped.

This is not a max load even with the Barnes X and should be even lower pressure with the Triple Shock. BUT ... apply all due caution ... your rifle may be tighter than mine!
