.416 Rem Mag Ammo Prices

Remington built this in 1988 by opening the belted magnum case up to .416, chasing Rigby performance in a rifle an ordinary hunter could actually buy. It works. Four hundred grains at roughly 2,400 fps from a standard .375 H&H-length action is dangerous-game authority out of a receiver that was already on the rack, no bespoke London magazine box required. It runs higher pressure to get there, which kept the old arguments about hot African afternoons alive for years, and four decades of use have mostly settled them. The working man's big bore.

Ammunition means 400-grain premium softs and flat-nose solids from Remington, Federal, Hornady and Barnes, priced the way dangerous-game ammunition is always priced. Shops carry a box or two if they carry it at all. Anyone with a safari on the calendar clears the shelf when he finds one.
