Ross Seyfried, Craig Boddington, John Wooters articles on the .416's in the late 1980's had me lusting for those also.

Ah ha! It was that same RS article that led me to build a 340 which for twenty years was my elk rifle. Many fond memories as I loved the cartridge and the rifle I cobbled up. And it slew elk like Sampson did Philistines.
It took me awhile, but I finally bought a Weatherby Fibermark in .340 Wby because of that Ross article.
