Following along the same lines as the past few episodes where we’ve talked a lot about cape buffalo hunting, we’re doing another cartridge comparison episode today. However, we’ll step down a little bit in caliber and discuss a few slightly smaller, but still really hard hitting dangerous game cartridges. In this episode, I’m going to do a detailed comparison of the .416 Rigby vs .416 Remington Magnum vs .416 Ruger and discuss the pros and cons of each one so you can make an informed decision regarding which one will work best for you.
Show Sponsor: Sign up for the Muzzleloaders 101 course at muzzleloaders101.com/buy and I’ll take you by the hand and guide you through the whole process of getting started hunting with a muzzleloader. I’ll help you decide what gear you need, help you SAVE money when you buy that gear, and teach you how to use all that stuff safely and effectively.

If you’ve listened to all my podcast episodes on Africa and really paid attention to what Kevin, Phil, and I had to say, then you probably know WAY more about hunting in Africa than most other people.
If you’re ready to take the plunge and go on the hunt of a lifetime in Africa, then get in touch with me and I’ll set you up with an outstanding hunt out in the bushveld for buffalo and/or plains game.
These hunts are for serious hunters who want to experience wild Africa. These hunts are not for everybody and I actually have to turn away people who are interested in hunting with us each year because I don’t think they can hack it or because I think they’re looking for something we can’t provide.
But, if you’re a serious hunter looking for a true African hunting Adventure, check out Big Game Hunting Adventures (or visit BestSafariHunt.com) and we’ll get you set up with that hunt you’ve always dreamed of.
Mention that you heard about Big Game hunting Adventures through the Big Game Hunting Podcast for special pricing on all our hunts.
