I always thought the .416 Rigby was significantly faster in velocity than the .416 Remington Magnum, by about 200 to 300 fps?
Don't own either of them.
And the .416 Chatfield-Taylor did around 2050 to 2100 fps with a 400 gr projectile. Very similar performance to the .450/400 NE ballistics.
Haven't read the article yet.
The Rem and Rigby are almost identical in velocity when purchased..reloading can be a different story..The Rigby has a larger case so more space for more powder..however the Rigby is loaded to lower pressures than the Remington..as least that is my understanding and what I have read... Part of where the comments the Remington cases might be stuck when I hot weather which personally I feel is bs... I have hunted in temps in excess of 110F with no issues..with a standard REM rifle ..
