I can't think why the 500/416 was developed, when the 500/450 is more versatile - at least on paper. The 500/416 will only be chambered in a DR, so its flat-shooting credentials are kind of moot. Leave that for .375 H&H double rifles.
I can shoot 350-400-480-500 grain projectiles all at about 2150 fps in my 500/450 double for a variedly of game.

Playing devils advocate, same/similar can be shot in the 500/416 only at a bit greater velocity..
