Looking at purchasing one. Wanted some feed back from the guys who have shot/use this caliber. Pros/Cons. Thanks in advanced.

Only con is ammo not readily available on the dark continent. Every PH has H&H on hand in case your ammo doesn't make it. Good round. I bought a .416 Ruger from AHR with a bit of hesitation for the ammo availability issue. Love the gun. Same performance (roughly) as other .416s in a standard action length (same case as .375 Ruger).

Pro - does anything the H&H will do, but out of a 20” barrel
Pro - with certain bullets it has the trajectory of a 340 Wby
Pro - with certain bullets there isn’t much need to go bigger
Pro - can be downloaded to 375win levels for a hard hitting, no recoil deer round
Pro - a 300gr bullet can be loaded mild and kill everything on this half of the world
Pro - at full power, recoil is just a bigger version of the 30-06
Con - ammo is available but hand loading really opens up your options
