My main complaint is about the .350 Rigby. It should be a great bigger medium bore cartridge like the .318 WR, .333 Jeffery, 9.3x62, .360s etc.

Why on Earth did Rigby not use good 250 gr projectiles ina .350 cartridge? Why, from memory 220 gr projectiles? The 250 gr was the great penetrator of the class. And heavier potential of 270 to 300 gr for the .350.

Handloading the .350 Rigby if barrel twist is ok, for 250 gr projectiles, would make it more popular. A 200 gr would be fine for smaller medium game. A 300 gr additional penetrator if desired to the 250 gr for DG.
