The Nosler Trophy Grade Safari .416 Remington Magnum 400-grain Partition Soft Point (SP) Nickel-Plated Brass 20-round box is an elite magnum centerfire rifle cartridge engineered specifically for harvesting dangerous game, including Cape buffalo, elephant, hippopotamus, and large thick-skinned predators. A primary friction point in dangerous game hunting is achieving broad, immediate terminal expansion without causing the bullet to fragment or stop prematurely when striking dense muscle and massive shoulder bone. Nosler resolves these critical field constraints by pairing its corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass cases with the world-renowned 400-grain Partition projectile, delivering massive hydrostatic energy transfer, deep linear penetration, and absolute structural integrity under severe impact stress.
The primary technical advantage centers on Nosler’s legendary Partition bullet construction combined with a heavy 0.330 sectional density and a 0.390 G1 ballistic coefficient. The bullet features a dual-lead-core design separated by a solid, integral brass partition wall; the forward lead core deforms and expands rapidly upon contact to create a massive permanent wound channel, while the fully enclosed rear lead core remains protected behind the solid wall, retaining upwards of 65% to 70% of its weight to drive deep through heavy bone and thick hide. Crucially, this 400-grain Partition load shares an identical point of impact (POI) with Nosler’s 400-grain Solid dangerous game loading, allowing dangerous game hunters to seamlessly mix soft-point and solid ammunition in the magazine without re-zeroing.
Launching its heavy 400-grain Partition bullet at 2,400 FPS and generating a formidable 5,115 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this Trophy Grade Safari loading delivers unstoppable stopping power when split-second target neutralization is mandatory. Assembled using premium reloadable nickel-plated brass cases, low-friction propellants, and non-corrosive Boxer primers, the nickel plating ensures ultra-smooth chambering, reduces feeding resistance, and resists tarnish or oxidation in humid, harsh safari environments. It is a world-class selection for African dangerous game safaris and dangerous brown bear defense.
