I have had absolutely no problems with anything having to do with these rifles. It's only foolishness to shun a DR because it's chambered in .375 H&H belted.

For Dangerous game hunting, It may be foolish to buy a belted version when the Flanged is available. I have one friend who had a double in the belted version. He had problems. Maybe only one instance, but that's all it might take... I also understand you might not use it on DG, but would you still be happy with this problem? My mate wasn't.
I have to agree with Ozhunter, I had a Chapuis in .375H&H and did have a problem on the first Buffalo I took, luckily for me the second shot also found it's mark and the animal was down and out and I was at least able to reload one chamber until I could get to use the cleaning rod in camp but would hate it to happen on real dangerous game.
I have since got a Sabatti in .450 N.E. 3.25" which is a rimmed cartridge.
Cheers,
