Hello Bonanza, I noticed the increased use of heavy for caliber bullets but in regard to the 400 H&H (.411 bullet!) the aim was different. I assume H&H wanted to have more powerful rifle caliber in their line as they had realized the 375 H&H is on the light side for DG. Advantages of this cartridge according to my observations: - 400 gr bullet is the logical choice for DG as it hits much harder than 300gr of .375. - in regard to the design the long bullet does not rob powder space - it is not overblown as the short/long ultra magnums or even 416 Rigby so you can built a trimmer rifle - the recoil is more bearable in comparison to other .416 (more like 450/400 NE) so the target results should be better - feeds smooth - sexy in appearance and bearing the H&H name The one negative point is that it uses the .411 bullet which can be obtained by Woodleigh or NorthFork only. But for me this is not an issue... I believe if someone needs a rifle that is used occasionally for African DG or large game or for pounding bears or moose this is the rifle he should choose. CZ |
