Doesn't look like all that much difference to me but I'm not a real internal ballistics guy. Again, even if one is not comfortable with these pressures, why not download to .404 Jeffery velocity and have a gun that will do everything you want without paying big money for .404 brass or a generally pricey .416 Rigby action and brass? Surely, the .416 Rem lacks the "romance factor" but it sure makes up for it in terms of practicality.

JMHO,
