Seems a logical option back when the 350 magnum was more popular. 416 Express is just the 350 necked up , with slightly different shoulder depending on die maker it seems
Wondering if anyone has built one
 
Ive shot one, but it wasnt mine. There was a time when the the 350/6.5 case was necked down and up from 22 to 458. Ballistically it is very close to the 06 case, slightly more capacity in general. I built 7mm and 338 versions, both were a little faster with same bullet weights than their 06 based cousins. The 7mm version was practically identical to the 280 ackley I had at the same time. I liked them. - dan
 
Thanks Dan, so it does exist
Came across it when looking at dimensions to make 350 Mag brass from longer mag brass by cutting and resizing
want to do two steps for the neck and though about the possibility of there being an intermediary cartridge, 416 caliber is just about right step between .35 and .50
416 Express seems to make sense too, more than 350 and less than 458-2"

would like to find some old unused dies to blow the dust off and try out
