History


John Rigby & Co introduced both cartridges in 1908, intended for use as an all-round African hunting rounds, they were somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of the .375 Holland & Holland in 1912, although some sportsmen preferred these cartridges to the latter as the Rigby cartridges had less recoil.




Use


The .350 Rigby and .350 Rigby No 2 have been used successfully as general purpose African hunting cartridges on most African game species.
Famous users included Denys Finch Hatton, Pete Pearson and John "Pondoro" Taylor. In his African Rifles and Cartridges Taylor wrote of the .350 Rigby "There is nothing spectacular about this cartridge; it has never had the write-up that the .318 Westley Richards and .375 Holland & Holland Magnum get from time to time; nevertheless, it is splendidly effective at ranges of up to at least 150 yd (140 m) and kills as instantaneously as the .375 Holland & Holland Magnum. In addition, it has an appreciably lighter recoil."
