    Question for .416 Hoffman Owners

    I have a couple of questions for the .416 Hoffman owners out there. Do you notice reduced velocity or accuracy issues when you shoot .416 Rem Mag ammo through your gun? Anyone had reliability issues when doing so? Also, given the rarity of brass headstamped .416 Hoffman, would you be worried...

    I know it's a pretty niche wildcat cartridge, but has anyone here taken a.338-06 to Africa for plains game? I've got a beautiful old rifle that shoots 210gr Nolser Partitions like they were lasers. It's been great for elk and bears so I would assume it's good to go for plains game, but I'd...
