If they were Federals, that is pretty much what they get for a box of 20 at Midway.

What is more dead at $10 per round that you can't kill for $3 per round with a 300 or 06? In Africa or Alaska may be, but there's nothing that big around here is there? Shucks, just go run into them with a car; has about the same kinetic engery as a 416 doesn't it?

I AM gong to Africa! the .416 Rigby puts out 2 1/2 Ton of enregy at the muzzle so I'd say that is about right
