The .450 Rigby is a rifle cartridge designed in 1994 by John Rigby & Co. for the purpose of hunting large, thick-skinned dangerous African game animals. The cartridge is essentially a .416 Rigby necked up to accept a .458 in (11.6 mm) bullet, although with a higher operating pressure and much of the original taper removed. It is intended for use in magazine rifles. The cartridge should not be confused with .450 Nitro Express, introduced by Rigby in 1898, which is a rimmed cartridge of lesser performance intended for use in double and single shot rifles.
