The 416 is one of the best allaround cartridges for africa,the ideal choice for the single gun african safari.The Weatherby version is the one i used in africa, exceeding the power and energy of the 416 Rigby and the 416 Remington magnum.I shot Capebuffalo to impala all were one shot kills. The 416 Weatherby can push a 400gn bullet at a muzzle velocity of 2700fps and a muzzle energy of 6474 foot-pounds. |
