It should have caught on with the 'lowest presssure at any cost' crowd, but didn't.

By double rifle standards, the 500-416 is really not one of the "lowest pressure" cartridges.
The 500-416 is rated at almost as much max pressure as the .416 Rigby.
46,000 psi for the 500-416, and 47,000 psi for the .416 Rigby.

I was consider 46,000psi as being low pressure. The high pressure crowd, the 55,000psi to 63,000psi would include the 'other' .416's and .375's.

Of course, the pressure generated is what you load it to. The person making the ammo has the final say.
