full .416 Rigby, 9.3x62? Sounds like a good one to set back in the handgun armory, just in case. The 9.3 probably would do OK in a handgun anyway. The over-capacity .416 I don't know, might do fair if inefficient.

Had my eye out for one of the factory TC .416 Rigby rifle tubes for a while, never saw one that was not marked up crazy. They were goofy "fluted" stainless barrels about 24". Wish I'd bought one back then.
