450 Rigby made up by Ken Stewart in South Africa from modified 416 cases. Ken assisted Rigby with load and bullet testing. The loads were also used in Namibia for a buffalo hunt and therefore the cases had to be overstamped to comply with international regulations. Norma tested bullets by Stewart as well as Woodleigh from Australia.
