Why? Well "just because" ……. alternately because my hunting would be USA Deer, Elk, or Bear and those are nice vintage rimmed cartridges.

This I 100% agree with.
A 350 Rigby (I'd actually prefer the 310gr 400/350 over the 350. No.2 225gr load) makes so much sense as Mike mentions for N. America but it would also be great for wild boar in Europe or any number of plains game in Africa.
I have a Manton Farquharson in 400/360 and it is a perfect package in a nice handling falling block rifle.
The 350 is the same with a .358" projectile. One doesn't have a doubt about the penetration of a 310gr .358" bullet!
