I have the following .416 Rigby ammo -
8 boxes Barnes TSX
6 boxes Barnes solids
3 boxes of Swift A-Frames
2 boxes of Woodleigh solids with the funny cap
1 box of Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claws.
40 rounds of TSX reloads for practice

I will go to Africa again and shoot this caliber.
Which do you like and why??
 
Barnes TSX, SAF's & TBBC's for nearly everything. Barnes solids and Woodleigh Hydros for elephant, the T10 and whenever the PH tells you to load solids. For a two-week to 10-day safari, I'd budget for 30 expanding & 10 solids...and you're likely to come back with most of it.

My personal preference is the Barnes TSX and Woodleigh Hydro but all of the ones you have are top shelf.
 
Send me one box of each and I will independently test them and get back to you!! Couldn’t resist!
Personally I like the A-frames because they group the best in my .416.
 
There isn't a cull in the lot so go hunt and have fun.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
