Item # 416 Rigby 350 TSX – “Soft” Load
This load features a 350 gr. Barnes TSX bullet traveling between 2,615 fps to 2,650 fps from 22-inch barrels. Its flat trajectory makes it highly versatile—capable of taking Springbok at 300 yards and Cape Buffalo at close range without changing loads or resighting the rifle.
Field-tested on 30–40 head of plains game and multiple dangerous game animals, this load has proven itself repeatedly. Despite common claims that TSX bullets are too stiff for big cats, this round has taken both leopard and lion with single shots.
Why Choose the 350 gr. TSX Over 400 gr. Softs?
- Flatter trajectory for extended range shots
- Lighter recoil for improved control
- Reliable expansion on small game
- Deep penetration suitable for Cape Buffalo
- Outperforms most 400 gr. softs in penetration while maintaining speed and accuracy
This 350 gr. load shoots faster and flatter than the classic .375 H&H with 300 gr. bullets, making it a standout choice for hunters seeking versatility and performance in one cartridge.
