It's a great caliber and the brass can easily be fabricated from many cases. I have read that is is more popular abroad than many might think. Not long ago Rigby brass was non-existent. Several old pros resorted to turning off the belts of the big Weatherby cases and "making" Rigby cases. It certainly can be done.
The .416 RM is effectively nothing more than an elongated .416 Taylor on the .458 WM case. However it predated the latter as an old Wildcat round. While .416 components are expensive, the brass lasts a good while, and if you pursue it, cast bullet shooting is very rewarding. I shoot a 375/325 gr. RNGC at 2100 fps for practice in my 20" Rigby BRNO 602 that Gary built.
