I once hit a fallow doe in the brisket at 342 yards.
The full length of belly unzipped in midline and nearly completely gutted the animal on the hoof.
My spotter watching through the laser range finder said:
"Dang ! That deer's guts popped out !"
I was using a Ruger No. 1 .416 Rigby with 350-gr X-Bullet.
Of course my aim might have been better if I had been using a .458 WinMag Ruger No. 1.
Confidence in a cartridge breeds accuracy.


As a devout fan and defender of the .416’s. What more might one ask, than a round that guts ‘em for you ?
If you had been using a 416 Remington, it would have likely skinned it as well as gutted. The 416 Ruger would have most likely done all the prior plus, packed it out for you.
Truly, One must have confidence in the cartridge.
