I have the following .416 Rigby ammo -
8 boxes Barnes TSX
6 boxes Barnes solids
3 boxes of Swift A-Frames
2 boxes of Woodleigh solids with the funny cap
1 box of Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claws.
40 rounds of TSX reloads for practice

I will go to Africa again and shoot this caliber.
Which do you like and why??
 
Barnes TSX, SAF's & TBBC's for nearly everything. Barnes solids and Woodleigh Hydros for elephant, the T10 and whenever the PH tells you to load solids. For a two-week to 10-day safari, I'd budget for 30 expanding & 10 solids...and you're likely to come back with most of it.

My personal preference is the Barnes TSX and Woodleigh Hydro but all of the ones you have are top shelf.
 
Send me one box of each and I will independently test them and get back to you!! Couldn’t resist!
Personally I like the A-frames because they group the best in my .416.
 
There isn't a cull in the lot so go hunt and have fun.
 
Hard to beat the A frames, lots of people like the TSX, they will take some strange paths at time's, plus I don't like scrubbing copper out of my barrel, send the 14 boxes of Barnes down the road and you have plenty for the future.
 
Swift A-Frames & Barnes Flat Nose Solids are what I just took around 13 animals with in the 416 last fall....All performed perfectly. (2 bullets on left are from 416 Rigby & 1 on right is 500 NE).

Depends on what you plan to shoot. If you’re after buff, I’d say hunt with the TSX and use the rest for practice.
My compliments on your inventory! Don’t be one of those two box guys!

I have an unfired T rex 577 if anyone is interested in acquiring it . Absolutely spotless, flawless and well kept . It's rare as it gets . Mouth watering ? Let me know if you feel like making an offer .

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
