As long as the bullet is tough enough to stand up to the velocity, I'll take the velocity. I've shot a .416 Wby and a .460 Wby for years. I've also shot the .500 Nitro in a double. The .460 does not feel as hard to me as does the .500. It's the same size case as the .416 Rigby, so load it down if you want. It's tremendously versatile. Try a .505 Gibbs or a .577. Now there's recoil! I hate it when people complain about velocity. For the large number of people who handload here, it should never be a complaint. We all know what happens when large calibers have low velocities because we've all discussed that here on another topic. It seems silly to hear of shooters say they "hate" a particular cartridge. You have to use whatever rifle you are comfortable using. period.
