digby,

Why just not use the 416 for everything it is slow enough not too damage the trophy quality and will let you be able to shoot any plainsgame from any angle plus you will not need to juggle between two rifles when a opportunity arises.

Another big plus point is weight limitation when flying with one rifle only you can take more personal luggage along.

Agree with the above totally,,,have used the .416 exclusively on two safaries with absolutely no need for another gun during the entire 20 days periods...

I know we all have our "pet" calibers...and for me--it is the .416---have probably shot upwards of 40 plus head of game with that caliber ranging from duiker to elephant...awesome results...it would not be my first choice if I was only hunting plains game in S Africa or Namibia --but in the thick stuff with dangerous game around..it would be very definitely my first choice...
