I have shot the a .416 Rigby in the Ruger model 77. It kicks less than a .416 Remington and a heck of a lot more than a .375 H&H. It would be great caliber for dangerous game in Africa, etc. if you can handle the belt it gives you. I don't think it has any use in North America other than just plain fun if you are into big bore rifles, lots of noise and pain.
