The New .416 No.2 Rimmed Rigby Cartridge and Rising Bite Double Rifles in the new .416R cartridge

Marc Newton, CEO of John Rigby recently saw the posts here on NE and sent me an email with news of the new Rigby cartridge, the .416 No. 2 Rimmed Rigby.

A great new development, and making a great choice for a medium-big bore double rifle chambering.
Basically the same rimless .416 Rigby cartridge with a rim. Quite a hot double rifle cartridge.

THE .416 Rigby cartridge pushes a 400 gr projectile at 2,350 fps to over 2,400 fps. The other main rimmed .416 was also modern, the .500/416 Nitro Express cartridge, drives a 400 gr bullet at approximately 2,325 fps. So the Rigby Rimmed and 500/416 NE will deliver very similar performances, both being relatively hot cartridges in break open rifles. But I have no doubt the .416 No.2 Rimmed Rigby will be a great success and eagerly sought after as a break open and double rifle cartridge.

The New .416 No.2 Rimmed Rigby Cartridge is basically the rimless . 416 Rigby with an added rim ideal for break open rifles. Promising to be a great new cartridge of choice in double rifles.

Rigby Rising Bites are already being made by John Rigby & Co. in the new new cartridge chambering.
