416 Rigby seriously blown out...Your basic PITA....
Does nothing more than a 30-378 with a long barrel.
Sort of appeals to the dark side I guess.
I built it when I thought you had to have such a monster to make long range hits...... Before I knew better
One of these days I will build a 338/408CT and will sell this thing to some unfortunate lad...Before he knows beter!

Thanks guys for the info on this round! I got the rifle and this thing 
rocks got my first bear with it and it just stoned it (pics to follow) and it was a hell of a good shot! (long ways away) I guess all that time and practice paid off ohhhh and good optics prob paid a part in it to lol. Now its time to start trying out some of these reciepes.

I have seen a couple of Nosler Partitions that lost the rear core when they "tumbled" in the game and then hit some heavy bone, but I have never seen a Partition disintegrate completely, regardless of impact velocity. Somewhere in the animal the rear section of that bullet will be, probably distorted and ugly looking, but disintegrated I don't believe. I have used Noslers to shoot well over 100 head of game in the past 40+ years. The vast majority [about 80%] exited, the rest I have at home. I have driven some plenty fast and shot game at close range....never a failure to work as designed, as far as I could determine. I am not "dissing" other, newer designs. I think the TTSX is a good bullet, but I will never live long enough to prove it the way I have the venerable Partition. Regards, Eagleye.
