I have a 1/2" Abrasion Resistant steel plate that will stop any elephant gun going.... I think you might need to load your .416 with a 175 grain .25" saboted tungsten penetrator.... that should do the trick!
Personally, if you can’t get the task done with that, it’s your fault and not the cartridge. Pretty amazing !

You answered your own question
I’ve used 416 RM for years
Always did the job and then some
If you can’t get it done with that gun. Then it’s definitely the operator not the equipment!!!

I would say the round will get the job done.

As long as you soaked up the recoil and were still ready for a follow-up shot if that mean ol' plate charged, you're good to go!

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.
