No not a bad thing I suppose. Just don't feel like fooling with the magazine to make a belted case feed properly. Get it even a little bit off and the action is junk. I agree with you the the 416 is a worthy cartridge but not necessary in NA.

I guess narrowing my parameters might help. Common ammo. This leaves 9.3x62 etc out of the picture. No belted case. So what does this leave in a near magnum performance? Not a hell of a lot I suppose.
