Always wanted one of these in 416 Ruger.. would make a great brush gun.. think for overall use in NA, would take the .338 and call it good...nothing on this continent that wouldn't handle .. or any other continent really..

Have the barrel rebored for the 416
Too easy

Yes.. and 416 Rem...

The cartridge is based on the .375 Ruger case which was necked up to accept a .416 in (10.6 mm) bullet. It was designed as a dangerous game cartridge particularly for use in Alaska and Africa. The .416 Ruger duplicates the performance of the .416 Rigby and the .416 Remington Magnum. All three cartridge fire a 400 gr (26 g) bullet at 2,400 ft/s (730 m/s) generating 5,115 ft⋅lbf (6,935 J) of energy. However, unlike the Remington or Rigby .416s, the Ruger .416 can be chambered in a standard length action as the cartridge has a length of 3.34 inches. The cartridge has the same diameter of belted magnum cases but without the belt. This provides the cartridge a larger propellant capacity than a standard length magnum cartridge of the same length. The rimless design allows for the smoother feeding and extraction of the cartridge.

Yes. Seems to me it holds 6gr. More than the standard H&H case. It likely is just a bit shy of the .416 Rem. Mag.

I feel the same about 'brakes', however have one on my .375 and like it
It is not as loud as most I've shot.

Currently I believe I only have one as well--on my Sako TRG-42-- 338 Lapua..
Which is fine for sitting at a bench banging steel a long ways off...
