.350 Mag. Rigby

The .350 Rigby Magnum, also known as the .350 Rigby, is a centerfire rifle cartridge developed by John Rigby & Co., a British gunmaker, in the early 1900s. It was designed for use in hunting rifles and was based on the .416 Rigby case necked down to accept a 9mm bullet.

The .350 Rigby Magnum cartridge uses a bottlenecked case with a bullet diameter of 9.1mm and an overall case length of 64mm. It typically fires a 225-grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of around 2,500 feet per second, delivering high energy and stopping power at medium to long ranges.

The .350 Rigby Magnum cartridge was designed for use on medium to large game in Africa, and it gained a reputation as a reliable and effective cartridge for hunting animals such as buffalo, lion, and elephant. However, it has since been largely replaced by more modern cartridges with similar performance characteristics, and is now considered a relatively rare and specialized cartridge. Nonetheless, it remains popular among collectors and enthusiasts of classic hunting rifles.
