I personally like 416 the best as it offers the best all round performance for my use. The 500s definitely hit harder but not as versatile IMHO. The 458s are a tried and true standard, but something about 416s that just gets the job done. They make a great choice for a one rifle safari of dangerous and plains game. A lot to be said for using the same rifle. I have both a 416 Rigby and 416 Remington. The Rigby is a CZ that feeds flat point solids perfectly and has the trigger tuned and the action bedded. The Remington is a Whitworth that shoots and handles wonderfully.
