Introduced in 1989, the 416 Weatherby Magnum was Roy E. "Ed" Weatherby Jr.'s first cartridge introduction, first used on Cape buffalo in Botswana by Craig Boddington and Ed Weatherby in June of that year. Based on the big 460 Weatherby Magnum case necked down, the 416 Weatherby Magnum is thus essentially a belted version of the 416 Rigby. Weatherby's loads take full advantage of the huge case capacity, propelling a 400-grain bullet at an impressive 2700 feet per second, yielding 6474 foot-pounds. The 416 Weatherby Magnum is thus more than adequate for the world's largest game, but with trajectory flat enough for versatile use. The obvious trade-off, however, is severe recoil, considerably greater than the several other 416 cartridges. — Craig Boddington
