The Rigby and Remington variants of the .416 bore diameter are undoubtedly the top dogs, but which of the two has the ultimate advantage?
The .416 Remington Magnum
The first .416” diameter bullets saw the light of day in 1911, in John Rigby & Company’s proprietary cartridge, the .416 Rigby. It was initially loaded with cordite, the popular propellant of the day in early twentieth century Britain, and a large ring Mauser receiver was necessary to house the...

" A SMART HUNTER WILL UNDERSTAND HIS FIREARMS AND HIS OWN PERSONAL LIMITATIONS,
& CARRY ENOUGH GUN TO GET THE JOB DONE WELL, UNDER LESS THAN IDEAL RANGES,
SHOT ANGLES AND SHOOTING CONDITIONS"
THE 416 caliber rifles CAN produce more power than anything in north America requires,
but it will certainly add, a bit of a safety margin on Kodiak and Polar bears hunted at shorter, ranges..
and while the power and penetration is not absolutely required,
on less dangerous game, a 416 can be used on game like moose or elk.
provided you practice enough to easily handle the recoil level,
and still maintain both consistent accuracy and rapid target acquisition!
no I don't own one , (A .416 caliber rifle)
but I can see where owning one would be fun!
I figured if I needed more power than my .378 WBY ,
that throws a 300 grain bullet at 2800fps
Id use my .458 win that throws a 500 grain bullet at 2050 fps,
or my .458 LOTT that throws a 500 grain bullet at 2300fps
btw
bullet weight in grains x velocity x velocity /450240= approximate impact energy
proper use of a SLING with higher recoil rifles helps accuracy noticeably
btw anything throwing a 300 grain bullet or heavier that is packing 5000 ft lbs of muzzle energy, or more.
is going to knock the crap out of your shoulder, so use an in the vest , sew in,recoil pad,
plus the rifle stock butt pad helps reduce what you feel at the shoulder.
(if you use a scope, mount it so you try HARD to get max eye to scope clearance,
or you'll very likely get a free weatherby eyebrow scar
)
