I have not hunted Africa and DG yet and intend to do so with a 416Rigby. Boddintons comments about the 416 calibre certainly back up what I have read previously.
Have used hte .416 Rem. on all of my hunts to Africa...and really dont see the need to use anything else..plenty fast enough for a longer shot if needed and plenty of power to dump anything that walks if you do your job of shooting correctly...

G'day Ripp,
When I was deceiding on a calibre for DG the ability of the 416's that you mention, to shoot flat enough for 300 mt shots, and plenty of power were the deceiding factors. Glad of your imput as it is based on experience not just my thoughts.
