Männlicher Schönauer 1905 by Holland & Holland

Dear All

I resend this post as I failed to attach photos in the first instance.

Some photos of a Holland & Holland Mannlicher Schoenauer Model 1905:
- Holland & Holland confirmed that they built this rifle in 1908.
- Caliber .400.375 belted Holland & Holland, still manufactured by Kynoch.
- No Austrian proof markings, only British ones.
- Other markings of interest:
o On the knox form: Holland’s Patent
o On the barrel: Holland & Holland, 98 New Bond Street, London
- Stock with rounded pistol grip, horn butt plate, horn fore end, and no check piece.
- Express-style rear sight with two folding leaves for 200 and 300 yards.
- Total length 114 cm (45 inches), barrel length 62 cm (24 inches), weight 3,5 kg (7 pounds).

I have also added a photo for comparing size and shape of .375 belted H&H, .400.375 belted H&H and 9.5x57 MS (from left to right).

Does any of you have any experience to share about hunting with and/or reloading .400.375 belted Holland & Holland ammunition?

Best regards.

Louis
