I have a .416 Rigby and love it. It has a rich history with a superb reputation. I wouldn't want to be without one. I've had 400 gr. Hornady's moving along at 2700 fps, but my normal working load is 2400. It's very manageable at this velocity. I never shot anything larger than a black bear with it, although I would love to hunt elephant and buffalo.

I think the .416 Ruger is a well-balanced cartridge. IMO, it has the perfect overall length and case capacity for the caliber plus it's beltless.
