I know the .416 Remington is a bit better when handloaded but it is a long way from the Rigby which easily achieves 2600fps with the 410gn bullet if you can hang on to it!!

And this comment confirms my opinion that the .416 Rigby and .416 Remington are not velocity equivalent as the article tried to assume.

Of course any rifle pushing a 400 gr projectile at velocities in excess of 2100 fpos is effective and reaching 2400 fps or more, very effective.
