The Weatherby 416 Weatherby Magnum Select Plus with 350-grain Barnes Tipped TSX bullets represents the top tier of dangerous game ammunition. This is the kind of load that professional guides and safari hunters rely on when things get serious. The combination of raw power and precision engineering makes it one of the most capable cartridges ever developed for Africa's largest and most dangerous animals.
Developed by Ed Weatherby in 1989, the 416 Weatherby Magnum sets itself apart from other 416-caliber options through sheer velocity and energy. It delivers 2880 feet per second at the muzzle with nearly 6,450 foot-pounds of energy, surpassing the performance of the 416 Remington Magnum, 416 Rigby, and 458 Winchester. That velocity difference translates to a flatter trajectory downrange, which matters when you're taking long-range shots in difficult terrain.
The 350-grain Barnes Tipped Triple-Shock X bullet uses a 100% copper construction with a polymer tip that boosts ballistic coefficient for improved long-range performance. On impact, that tip gets pushed back into the bullet to trigger rapid expansion, while the hollow cavity delivers controlled, predictable results. The solid copper construction maintains nearly 100% weight retention, which is critical for the kind of deep penetration required on large, thick-skinned game. Unlike traditional jacketed bullets, these copper projectiles create sharp cutting petals that double the diameter as they expand through the target.
Each box contains 20 rounds of premium ammunition assembled by Weatherby to exact specifications. The brass cases are carefully matched and uniform for consistent performance across every shot. This ammunition comes in cases of 10 boxes, making it convenient for someone who's serious about their 416 Weatherby and plans to practice before heading into the field or onto a hunt.
The 416 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest commercial 416 cartridge, delivering about 300 feet per second more velocity than competing options like the 416 Remington or 416 Rigby. This higher velocity provides flatter trajectory and superior long-range ballistics, making it ideal for distant shots in African hunting scenarios. It does require a Weatherby rifle or a custom build since it needs a larger magnum action than standard 416 options.
The Barnes Tipped TSX is 100% solid copper with a streamlined polymer tip that improves ballistic coefficient and initiates predictable expansion on impact. The bullet retains nearly all its weight after expansion, which is essential for deep penetration on thick-skinned, heavy animals. The controlled expansion and cutting petals create devastating terminal performance while maintaining the structural integrity needed for dangerous game hunting.
The 416 Weatherby Magnum with 350-grain bullets is specifically engineered for dangerous game hunting and specialized applications. While some hunters use it for large North American game like grizzly bears, it's overkill for standard hunting situations. The cartridge, ammunition, and recoil are really designed for professionals and experienced hunters taking on Africa's most challenging animals.
The brass cases can be reloaded by experienced handloaders, but you'll need data specific to the 350-grain Barnes Tipped TSX bullets and proper equipment for a magnum cartridge. The grooved design of the Barnes bullets requires careful load development. Most reloaders working with this ammunition consult dedicated load manuals and may need to adjust pressure curves since lead-free solid copper bullets behave differently than traditional jacketed ammunition.
