The .350 Rigby cartridges should have better than they were and more popular. The cause was probably the ridiculously light for calibre 225 gr projectile. A 250, 270 or 300 gr projectilevin addition to the 225 gr would have made far more sense. Maybe with a faster barrel twist.
That and they needed to load it to it's true potential which is about the same as a 350Norma magnum.

Funny thing is that most all of the 35cal. Magnum's sort of petered out.
The same can be said of the 350 Griffin & Howe Magnum.
For some reason, the 350s which are the natural bridge between the 30s and the 375 just didn’t make it.
I guess the need for a rifle between the 318WR and the 9.3x62 didn’t present itself for most sportsmen.
That I think was due to the bullets available at the time. None were strong enough to stand up to the velocity of the magnums, especially on big bears and of course a heavier bullet would have helped. Or so my reading would indicate.
