As Marrakai rolls his eyes ....

A belt may have been an idea and a gimmick but the rifles with belted catrdiges are not useless. I wonder now if that comment - ie the .375 H&H is obsolete and useless - was also said tongue in cheek considering the writer uses a .375 Weatherby Magnum and also admits to using a .375 H&H Magnum a lot, did he say somewhere he has more than rifle in this chambering.

Back to Marrakai's suggestion. I once wanted a .416 Chatfield-Taylor, the .458 Win Mag necked down to .416 and which works excellently in standard M98's.

I remember once being amused by a particular forum's netperts praising the performance of a .450/400 but saying the .416 Taylor was sub-marginal on the same game. Yet very similar ballistic perfomance. Made more friends that day when I pointed this out. From my keyboard knowledge of these two cartridges only however.
