Lyman has that one to but not the one you're looking for.

For some reason Lyman has always had very few loads for the Weatherby line of cartridges, usually just light loads with a few fast powders esp. UNIQUE. Other large cartridges get better treatment with loads using powders like 4895, 3031, etc. Don't know why that is, I know the cases are large but I'm sure better loads could be worked up as they have top end loads for the 45/70, .458, 270, 30-06, 7mm mag., etc.
Also look at 45-120 load data, that may be a little closer to 450 Rigby case size.
If you are shooting this in a double rifle, pistol weight boolits and reduced velocity have regulated nicely for me. They are much more pleasant to shoot also.

thank you for the pdf
Ignore most of this, 8 hours later I remembered the details of the 450 Rigby, it is most definitely not more similar to the 450-120 and probably NOT in a double rifle.
I was thinking 450 Nitro Express, that I load for in 2 different Rigby doubles.
Although pistol weight boolits WILL be more fun to shoot.
Dang geezer memory.
the rifle that I have is a Sako 85 brown bear........bolt action
