The 416 well that would require a different test. While it is very true that a boy could not use one, it doesn't have the same breeding as the H&H, the honor of the 3006 or 'old money' respectability now that Remington is in financial straits. So while the 416 might be a mans gun it is not the gun of a Gentleman.

All my original handloads were made from 375H+H cases so I reckon that counts lol

"375 H&H will teach you what recoil is"
the gunsmith dude from the gun club has a P14 in 375 HH. Big muzzle brake-230(ish cant remember)grainers at nearly about 3000fps. he reckons recoil is pretty good very accurate, flat shooting and apparently awesome on deer.

Well you are all class mate, Ha. Haven't checked but I am sure the 375 could be loaded to shoot that Elk cow at long range. But as others have said the gap could have been closed quite a bit. If Kas shot that elk cow with a classic like the H&H at say 500 yards that would be a lot more respecting of the animal and still be something a bit different and worth watching.
