In the first place the 375H&H had a great following long before Boddington was born. It has that following because, like the old thuty-thuty, it works all out of perportion to it's paper balistics. It is easy to shoot, can be used in a fairly light rifle,and combined with a good Mauser actioned rifle,feeds like quicksilver, and is about the best all around for the world one can use!

Ammo is available in any place where hunting, and firearms are allowed. It shoots flat enough to be usefull on long shots, and powerfull enough to take anything you run into on planet Earth, with proper bullet, and a reasonable shot placement!

I have my doubts whether gun rag writers influenced the popularity of the 375 H&H that much, any place other than the USA, and only with youngsters then.

In Africa, and India, it gained it's reputation by doing what it was designed to do, Take game animals cleanly!

A big game hunter with more than one rifle, not haveing one of them be a Bolt actioned CRF 375H&H rifle, is almost blasphemy!

500, you got that backwards, a Chevy truck breaks most of the time, but not always!

Compareing the fine old 375 H&H to a Chevy truck, is like calling Mother Teresa a bitch! UNFORGIVABLE!
