Keep in mind that I was firing a MAX load from the Barnes manual; the .416 Rigby loaded to the standard 2400 fps with a 400 gr. bullet is completely controllable and to me it's comfortable, especially when shooting offhand.
Load a 400 with 103 gr of 4350 for 2700 and get back to me on thatThe thing with the .416 Rigby is that it's more like a good SHOVE, than a punching pain. I've fired .300 Wins that HURT WORSE.I love the .416 Rigby enough that I had to get a Ruger RSM to replace the CZ.

David Emerson, you think that I was joking but look at what just a little RUST in the barrel and nipple did to my JP MURRAY artillery carbine.........yeah, it kinda sucked........I'm very blessed that it didn't fire at the RANGE........I stepped it the back yard to discharge the .69 caliber Minie Ball into the ground and KABOOM.Let me get back on my two feet, and I will.
I'm ok, THANK GOD, but I am not without new Titanium in my Tibia.
