Stopping power has been found of late to be more myth than fact. A 416 will actually outpenetrate a 458 in most cases, all other factors being roughly equal. A 416 round through the brain of an Ele will give you a great big thud sound. A miss of the brain with a 505 Gibbs will give - SOMETIMES- a stun effect but so will a near miss from a 416 - sometimes. Can't count on that, better to use a rifle you can shoot well and HIT with. More stopping power in that methodology, always. Short answer to the question, both are capable of doing anything a hand held rifle can be expected to do. Buy and hut with whichever you like with total confidence so long as good bullets are used and placed correctly.
