.450 Rigby whats your opinion

I think it’s a great caliber but finding even reloading components especially brass is a problem so I have had no interest
 
Beautiful, except for the Hornady ammo lol
Well it came with the rifle. I do have Barnes, woodleigh, Nosler, cutting edge bullets and plenty of brass. Plenty of Nosler ammo as well. Basicaly I need to thin the crowd.

I have a Rigby 450 PH rifle and I am a huge fan . I reload using 500grain pills at 2350 - 2400 fps . It is brilliant . I can always get the bullets and in a pinch I can use 416 brass . I had a 458Lott Ruger Safari Magnum - very nice but the Rigby is better . I actually prefer shooting it to my Rigby 416 Big Game ( to the point I’m considering selling the 416 ) . Much less felt recoil for some reason and very accurate . Great cartridge in a great rifle .

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
