Welcome to the forum. Always good to see new people posting.
There isn't a lot Online for the 400/350 NE. However, QL can perhaps be of some help. What particular bullets do you anticipate using? What powders do you have available? Here is a sample projection with the 225 grain Woodleigh PP WeldCore PP:
Cartridge : .400/350 Rigby N.E.
Bullet : .358, 225, Woodleigh PP WeldCore 51A
Useable Case Capaci: 70.842 grain H2O = 4.600 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.600 inch = 91.44 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 39000 psi, or 268 MPa
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
Here is a sampling of powders that might work with the 310 Woodleigh SN WeldCore 54:
Cartridge : .400/350 Rigby N.E.
Bullet : .358, 310, Woodleigh SN WeldCore 54
Useable Case Capaci: 65.224 grain H2O = 4.235 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.600 inch = 91.44 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm

If you can be a bit more specific, perhaps I or someone else will be able to help you.

Well...
I had a Rigbymauser in that caliber once. I sold it because the bore was no good.
Load was 60 grain Norma 202 to a 310grain bullet from Woodleigh.
I used Horneber brass.
Velocity was about 660 m/sek.
Is yours a double or a repeter?.
