I just received my Huntingtons catalog in the mail yesterday and noticed they were advertising a 450gr 416 bullet. Did I misread or is there a 450gr available and if so has anyone had any experience with this bullet weight in a Rigby?

I just checked the www.Huntingtons.com and you didn't miss read. I have never heard of this before.

These are new bullets listed on Woodleigh website

308 Cal. .308" 150gr Protected Point
303 British /312" 174gr Protected Point

500 Jeffery .510" 535gr Protected Point

577 Nitro .585" 650gr Full Metal Jacket

Mike375,

Good to see you posting again. Hopefully a 450 grain FMJ/solid will be offered along with the soft. This will really add to the whomp potential of the .416 Rigby.

Good huntin' and shootin',

They are also comming out with the 350 gr. 375 bullet...I like these heavy for caliber bullets that are 3-1/2 times the cross section....

Geoff said the new 585 softpoint is designed for velocities around 2000fps as in the lighter 577 nitro of old.
Just letting the other 585 nuts know...
