Great insight. I never considered using the 416 for Elk. And the information on the 500 is awesome.

Practical experience wins over ballistics tables, that's for sure.

My experience was with a Brown Bear. My guide had me take a 250 yard shot, and it really pissed off the bear. By the time I put another round in the chamber, he was running at full steam down the mountain and was less than 80 yards away. Hit him again at about 50 yards and he tumbled head over heels coming to rest about 15 yards away. The closer shot hit him like a ton of bricks.

My trusty guide claimed he got a shot off, but I sure did not hear anything, and he was only 3 feet away from me.

Nice to know it works well on elk. I have my Ribgy ranged for 100, 200 and 300 yard intervals. I know it is very accurate at 300 yards.
