Description
.416 Rigby 400 Grain CE Solids-Ā TheĀ .416 RigbyĀ was designed in 1911 byĀ John Rigby,Ā ofĀ John Rigby & Company, as aĀ dangerous gameĀ cartridge. It is the first to use a bullet with a diameter of 10.6 millimetres (0.416Ā in). The rifles, as built by John Rigby & Co., were initially made up onĀ MauserĀ magnum-length actions, although in later years, some were made on standard length actions, a perfect example being the rifle used by legendary professional hunterĀ Harry Selby.Ā Other famous users of the cartridge were Commander David Enderby Blunt,Ā John Taylor, andĀ Jack OāConnor.Ā Since the late 1980s, several .416 cartridges have come to the market. Among these, the .416 Remington Magnum, the .416 Ruger and the .416 Weatherby Magnum have garnered the most attention of the firearms press.Ā Both the Ruger and Remington cartridges were designed to emulate the Rigby cartridgeās performance level of a 400Ā gr bullet at 2,400Ā fps.
Until recently, the use of .416Ā cartridgesĀ was mostly confined toĀ Africa, where they were used primarily on dangerous or āthick-skinnedā large game such as rhino, elephant andĀ Cape buffalo.Ā The .416 Rigby would be considered overpowered for North American game species. However, the .416 Rigby does offer a greater insurance against polar bear, Alaskan brown bear, and useful for the hunting of American bison where allowed.
