[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 217075, member: 2736"] Aj I am a fan of the 416s and hear is the reason. The range of bullet weights (300,325,350,400 and 410grs) If you look at the trajectory tables and compair the 416 with the lighter bullets ,they are very good. With a heavy rifle recoil is not bad with the lighter bullets. Also if you plan to go to Africa some countries will not allow anything under .40 calibre. And some P H,s will not allow muzzel breaks so weight is good on a 375 or a 416. I have 2 416s and have shot up to 50 rounds at one sitting before losing interest.One is a 416 rem in a safari grade 700 rem. and the other is a 416 Buff based on a 375 RUM case (About 100ft/sec slower than a 416 weatherby) also on a 700 rem long action. The 300 to 350gr bullets are great for Brown bear and the 400 or 410gr solids are Cape Buffalo poison. Shooting the 416 in a lead sled is a non,event. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
