Currently, the largest rifle I have is a 375HH and I am looking to "finish out" the top end of my rack with either a 416 Rigby (Legend) or 416 Rem. Mag (popular). I've checked all the ballistics and reloading data for Nosler, Swift, Hornady, and Barns so I've worked the stat's and they are NOT the deciding factor. What's missing is first hand information. Availability of ammo, brass, future "economic" life of the cartridge, availability of rifles, reliability, reloading versus case size are all considerations.

I'd appreciate any advice in weighing the trade-offs between these two calibers.
