Re: 404 jeffrey or 416 rigby
Tinus33, you know I am bias when it comes to giving reasons/opinions why a person /hunter should choose between a 404 Jeffery and another caliber rifle. I will always choose the 404 Jeffery since I own one, shoot it frequently, reload for it and ammo/brass/bullets are readily available.
What ever caliber your brother choose , especially if it is a big bore caliber , he will pay for Sonchem powder, bullets /brass of ammo.
I really do not know if one caliber is more expensive to own than another caliber since on the long term you accumulate brass, bullets or ammo for every caliber a hunter owns.

Hi Shaun, good to hear from you again. Shaun, ammo/brass/bullets for the 404 Jeffery is readily available. When I bought the 404 Jeffery I had difficulty to obtain brass/bullets. That is why I fire -formed .375 H&H Magnum brass to chamber in my 404 Jeffery. Since then the popularity of the 404 Jeffery increased tremendously. Every hunter wants a 404 Jeffery these days. I think CZ is manufacturing the .423 caliber in a 404 Jeffery . I know about a lot of hunters who owns /wants to own a 404 Jeffery. Johan Greyling build and sold 404 Jeffery rifles as well.

Gert, no problem. I think every person will promote the calibre what they like or prefer and know. All the advice so far has opened my mind a lot regarding both the calibre`s.
Reloading is the best way to go I believe to ensure you get exactly what you want. So your point being valid that he will buy Sonchem powder, bullets / brass regardless of the calibre.
