Something inside me likes tradition.....especially tradition that is real and works....and that's exactly what the .300 H&H and .375 H&H is...tradition that really works and is so succseeful as to be used the world over.

Also being a guy that loves building guns, the idea of sitting a .400 H&H beside the .300 and .375 in the cabinet is a smile generator.

I certainly can't afford the H&H rifle but with a little reloading work, the ammo with the proper H&H headstamp, isn't all that hard to make.....except that my experience with the .404 Jeffery has taught me a little about standardization....... The .416 is a bullet that is easy to live with because it's so commonly produced and in superb qualities. The .411 is not.

It just seems as though H&H don't want to make this cartridge available to the masses as their world wide renown parentage has become.

Oh well....the Jeffy looks fine beside the old traditional H&H chambered guns and they, in turn, look very sweet beside the M-70 in 7 X 57 and .257 Roberts.

The .465 H&H don't interest me in any way as I doubt seriously that I could habdle the recoil.....heavens, the .375 is bad enough!
