Case capacity of the Taylor is minimal.
Minimal for what? Again article above shows Taylor duplicates 416 Rigby in the field in Africa with no worries from tropic temps and no pressure signs pushing three 400 gr bullets averaging 2,400 fps. Article is 43 years old, imagine how good the 416 Taylor is today with today's bullet and powder technology. Back then a 400 grain solid from a 416 Taylor fully penetrated an elephant's brain from any angle (not knocking the 416 Ruger, it is no better or worse than the Taylor) with today's components. Larger platforms with the same bullet and bullet weights having more powder and higher velocity than 2,400 fps may show a decrease in their ability to penetrate. That may be why some PHs on DG like heavy for caliber bullets at slower speeds (.375 w/350 gr at 2,250 fps; .416 w/450 gr at 2,200 fps and .458 w/500gr at 2,100 fps. There is a point of diminishing returns on penetration when higher velocity is utilized. John Linebaugh has been one of the foremost authorities on studying heavy projectiles, velocity and penetration. Its funny that the outcomes are the opposite of what one would traditionally expect.
