The 400/350 featured a long parallel sided round nosed 310 grain bullet of great penetrating power at a modest 2000 fps. The .350 Rigby Magnum used a 225 grain bullet at 2625 fps...
Don't forget the 400/350 No.2 load of the rimmed case which is supposed to be the same ballistically with the 225gr. bullet of the rimless cartridge. Not sure if they get up to that speed in real life though.
I do like the 350 Rigby bolt guns though no matter which case they chamber.
