In regards to another posters thread, I just wanted to say what I know about the .416-Remington caliber for African hunting gents. This caliber has been out now for over a decade and I have "never" heard anything about it being a problem or causing a problem in the heat of the Dark Continent. I myself have been hunting in Africa on several ocassions and used my .416-Remington magnum caliber in a model 70 Winchester with no problems what so ever.

There is nothing I know of that will out penetrate a .416-caliber in a big DGR gun! A 500-Jeffery's will hit harder but will not out penetrate the .416-Remington, .416-Rigby etc. I have never heard of any problems with extraction of a case in any .416-Remington caliber rifle over the years.
