Barnes VOR-TX .416 Rigby ammunition (part no. 22034) loads a 400-grain Barnes Triple-Shock X Boat Tail for dangerous-game hunters taking on the world’s largest, most heavily boned animals. Barnes pioneered the all-copper hunting bullet, and its factory loads carry that same lead-free, deep-penetrating design. The all-copper hollow point petals peel back on impact for a wide wound channel while the bullet retains close to 100 percent of its weight for deep penetration. Brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .416 Rigby loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
