416's seem like good balance of power, penetration, and recoil. the .375 below it, is flat shooting and good for dangerous game, but lacks the stopping power of it's larger cousins the .458 lott, .505 gibbs etc. The 416 has slightly more stopping power than the 375, but not as brutal recoil as the lott, which is good because it lets you get a better follow up shots faster. IT's a good middle ground.. which is why I will buy the ruger alaskan in .416 ruger. 20" barrel, stainless/synthetic, can't beat it for real world hunting
