Barnes 400 grain hollow pt. .416 rigby

[Hunt anything]

Does anyone have experience with factory loaded 416 Rigby hollow points? I’ve always been a little suspicious of hollow points when it comes to big game.

The performance of the TSX has been pretty well documented as positive.

Anecdotally I’ve used about 6 different factory loads using the TSX from 5.56 70gr to 470NE 500gr with excellent results on everything I ever hit with them. They perform very well when used on an appropriate target.

I killed the buffalo in my avatar, a sable ,and a waterbuck ,all with one shot with that load.

I killed 9 animals in Zim with factory Barnes tsx in my 375. I loaded a ton of them for practice as well and the factory loads duplicated accuracy to my hand loads in my gun. I wouldn’t consider the tsx to be a typical hollow point but a controlled expansion bullet.

Croc brain shot with a factory 300gr Barnes.

Did you find a time machine and travel back to 1996?

All 416 Rigby ammo costs $11/round and up here.

I bought all of the inexpensive stuff from a local shop here but I know a place that has it for $145 a box.

I've shot my most recent hippopotamus bull on land with a 300Gr Barnes TSX monolithic copper hollow point factory load, out of a .375 Holland & Holland Magnum. I was mighty impressed and look forward to using them more in the near future (in place of the solids which I used to exclusively prefer in the past for hunting hippopotamus on land).

I shoot the Barnes TSX 400gr and Woodleigh's at 450gr. out of my .416 Rigyb. They both perform exceptionally well. The TSX wouldn't be my first choice for elephant, but I wouldn't think twice about it in a pinch. They penetrate and expand flawlessly.
