The first .416 Rigby rifles used the Magnum Mauser 98 Square Bridge No. 5 action. [5] The large bolt face and the length of the Magnum Mauser 98 No. 5 action was easily adapted for use with the .416 Rigby cartridge. As the Magnum Mauser 98 action became scarcer after World War II, .416 Rigby rifles were built on Enfield P-17 and the BRNO ...
While today the .416 Remington Magnum is considered in the field the most popular of the .416 cartridges, [3] the .416 Remington did not replace the .416 Rigby as had been anticipated. Rather, it sparked a renewed interest in the .416 caliber (10.57 mm) cartridges which led to the revival of the .416 Rigby and the introduction of other .416 ...

Taking advantage of this momentum, Weatherby introduced their own .416 cartridge in 1989; it was based on the .378 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, which was necked up to accept a .416 in (10.6 ...
The .338 Lapua Magnum case by itself has been based on the .416 Rigby. The .460 Weatherby Magnum has a case head diameter (0.580"/ 14,73mm) unique to the large Weatherby belted magnum cases. Few other cartridges use this case head size (or something close, like the .416 Rigby).
By way of comparison, the .416 Rigby and .416 Remington Magnum cartridges fire .416 in (10.57 mm) bullets of 400 gr (26 g) at 2,400 feet per second (730 m/s) with a muzzle energy of approximately 5,000 foot-pounds force (6,800 N⋅m).
