In a word No. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 416 Rigby.
This^.
I have a 416Rigby in a CZ550. Will shoot 5 into an inch or less if I do my part with Woodleigh 400grn RN and Hydros-same point of impact. Flat enough to use to 300yards if you wish or load the lighter 340 grain bullets for longer range.
You can down load or upload the Rigby. A vary versatile cartridge.
I suspected that this would be the case........ Proper ammo / hand loads should perform well. The more posts / responses I read, the further convinced I become that the .416 Rigby is the better choice from a hunter's perspective. Makes me think I should have probably been looking at acquiring the Rigby even long before I got to playing with the big doubles.
We have a well stocked importer of Woodleighs in our Province, so Woodleighs will likely be the first bullets I will fling down range once the rifle arrives!!
