All very good points, JPK. I have never hunted elephant and, of course, never faced a charge by one. The flavor of my .416 is the .416 Weatherby shooting the 400 grain Barnes bullet. At more than 6500 ft. lbs., it certainly ranks right up with the best. Like I mentioned though, I really do like the big bores and if I ever got the chance to hunt elephant, it would be with a .500 NE.

I think we got a bit off of the intent of this thread which was experiences with the .500/.416 of which I have none I think the .416 serves a very valuable role in Africa and is much, much, more deserving than to simply state that it is neither fish nor fowl, as stated by another previously, and therefore too small for dangerous game and too big for plains game.

Krieghoff seems to be selling a fair number of the .500/.416's.
