OK Greg, I'll shoot ya straight.

Rims, pressure, belts, you name it - you've obviously read it all here before, and by making this post - you're about to see it all again I'm sure.

I own two calibers of DRs 375H&H & 470 - so understand my beef isn't about one over the other.

The fact is that every major double rifle maker in the world offers a 375 H&H mag in their chamberings. All the Brits do, the Italians do, the Germans, the Ferlachers... you name it all offer the 375.

Now, ask yourself (before you read opinions of the nay-sayers) - if they shot off face so often and actions got stretched so regularly and the cartridges failed to extract or eject or they simply blew up b/c of all that pressure - do you think the greatest names in gun making would chamber for such a cartridge?

Would they hang their reputations (that many have literally spent 100s of years building) on a cartridge that would fall short of their guns?

OK - gates open...
