[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 71638, member: 3745"] I shoot a .416 WBY which is a bit faster than (more case capacity) than the .416 Rigby. But, yes the .416's and other big bore calibers are normaly considered African or other dangerous game calibers. As far as what is so great about the .416? My rifle with a 28" Shilen barrel can push a 350grn bullet at just a shade under 3100 fps. It will shoot just as flat as a .300 win mag with a 180 grn bullet and retains more energy at 400 yards than the .300 win mag has at the muzzle. But to really get down to it..........I have it for same reason some others on this site use a 50 BMG to shoot ground hogs. I like it, and it is a lot of fun to shoot!
