Dunhams had 416 Rigby and 458 Lott factory rounds on the shelves. The 416 Rigby were Trophy Bonded Bear Claw 400 grain for $200 for 20 cartridges...

It's the same thing here in Columbia, Tennessee. The shelves are mostly bare of ammo at Dunham's except for three boxes of 220 Swift, 300 H&H, 7X64, 8x57 and some big bore ammo. They had some boxes of 375 H&H, 416 Rigby, 416 Rem and 458 Lott. The boxes are so old and scuffed you can't make out the original price or the sale price tags. I probably own the only 416 Rigbys in the county but I'm a handloader so they're not likely to go anywhere soon.

It is tough to sell factory ammo to a reloader unless it is priced right.

I forgot to add that they had quite the variety of 300 and 338 Winchester Magnum, as well as 416 Remington Magnum.

As a reloader, I had no need for 9.3x62 cartridges, but they had one box Remington 9.3x62
with 286 grain soft nose for $23 for 20, so I bought the box. I had no idea Remington even loaded 9.3x62...
