One item no one has mentioned but I did find on several of my hunts to Zim..the 416 Rem. is used by a fair amount of PH's.. most camps I was at, one or more of the PH's had .416 REM ammo laying around somewhere. If you ran low or your ammo just didn't show up as it was being held hostage either in the airport in Paris or on some morons desk in customs...
There are some reasons why PHs often use the .416 Renm Mag.
1. They are left handed and the Rem 700 LH in .416 Rem Mag is the best LH rifle they can afford.
2. The Rem 700 is cheapish and PHs and appy PHs don't make a lot of money. So they get a reasonably effective cartridge in a cheap rifle.
Most would have a far better rifle and chambering if they could afford it.
