Calibre / Bullet Weight in Grains / Bullet Velocity in fps / Powder Weight in Grains / Gun Weight in Pounds

The .500/416 is a much discussed cartridge on some forums.
.500/416 - 410/2400/85/10.5 - Recoil Energy of 54 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 18 fps.

Compared to a slower older .450/400
.450/400 - 410/2050/65/10.5 - Recoil Energy of 35 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 15 fps.

A .450/400 in a lighter rifle. Still manageable.
.450/400 - 400/2050/65/9.5 - Recoil Energy of 37 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 16 fps.

***

Compare the .500/416 to a .470 NE
.500/416 - 410/2400/85/10.5 - Recoil Energy of 54 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 18 fps.

.470 NE - 500/2150/85/10.5 - Recoil Energy of 59 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 19 fps.

Not a great deal of difference fr recoil but less effective on the very large stuff. A .500/416 if it could be shot as a longer range rifle might have an advantage as a dual rifle.

.500 NE
.500 NE - 570/2100/100/12 - Recoil Energy of 65 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 19 fps.
