As someone who lives and hunts in Africa, I would recommend you use a suitable bullet (Barnes Nosler Partition, Norma) between 150 - 160 gr. I have used these bullets on game up to Eland since 1982.
Bring your Rigby and enjoy the hunt!
Kind regards
I have been very happy with the 150gr TSX at 2600 fps the last couple of years. Previously used 160gr Nosler Partitions at 2740fps. TSX at lower velocity more comfortable to shoot but results very much the same. See what bullet shoots best in your specific rifle. kind regards
My 7x57 is my favourite rifle and has taken: Sprinbok (50+), Impala (10), Warthog (7), Kudu(6), Black Wildebeest(1), Gemsbuck(7), Blesbok (4) and Eland (1). My best load is 150gr BarnesTSX @2600fps.
