I was just snooping around and found this ...
"One of my first guiding back-up shots was at a running wounded water buffalo. With glimpses through the trees, my .416 Rigby raking shot at 250 yards dropped the buffalo in a cloud of dust. It was amazing. My investigation found that the 410 grain Woodleigh bullet had entered the left rump and stopped in front of the brain with over eight feet of penetration. From that point on I knew why many African hunters chose the .416 Rigby cartridge for all game and all circumstances."
Penetration, that's why.
