Another mark for the venerable 375 H&H.

I've been hunting with my pre-64 for many years now (North America). I still have friends who think I'm over gunned but this really isn't the case. The 375 bullets, at their moderate velocities, are outstanding performers with little fear of meat damage even on medium sized game. Bullet selection is great and the cartridge is easy to shoot. Kind of like a jumbo version of the 30/06.

I've backed other hunters on moose hunts where they are using cartridges such as the 300 WinMag. A great cartridge, to be sure, but many times the moose simply isn't impressed. And an unimpressed moose can trot a loooong damned way! The 375 is dramatically more effective on these tenacious beasts. Our antelope are famous for running into the next county after taking a direct heart whack with the latest greatest ultra-short-improved-longrange-gunmag cartridge. Not so when the 375 connects and takes a rib on its way in and another on the way out. Sorta deflates them right on the spot! Then you eat right up to the hole!

Cases are no worries and easily handloaded. Brass life has always been excellent for me. Good handloads and familiarity with one's arm can easily result in a level of accuracy that would surprise most hunters. Last year, I was playing with some Nosler 260 grain Partitions and Reloder 15 and got a ten shot group that measured 1.2". Yep, I kept that one! Serious coyote medicine, eh?

I consider the 375 H&H the finest all around cartridge ever to come down the turnpike. A gentleman on another forum has a tag line that sums it up quite nicely.... 'One cartridge, one planet.'

I could go on forever but I'll let you take over after you get yours

Good luck and best regards,
