The 300 H&H is neither absolute , or rare.
The cartridge is alive and well amongst those who understand what it represents.
It is actually enjoying something of a comeback with its sleek, tapered....dare I say wonderful lines. This as many grow tired of the bulky short necked variety of a certain 300 magnum.....IMHO.
Show me a gunshop selling loaded ammo for it.
Tell me how many new rifles are sold for it in Australia each year?

In respect to commercial sucicide, this premise didnt stop Rigby from chambering the stalker for the great 8x57 when most Americans and Aussies dont give the cartridge a so much as a seconf thought
Yes but 8x57 was or is still one of the most used chamberings in Germany and also probably in Eastern Europe and other parts of Continental Europe.
Ffffing hell, the fact is Rigby is only chambering ONE cartridge for their magnum rifles at present. Who the ffff would choose a .300 H&H Mag on a probable test case chambering and rifle? If you wanted a success and as many sales as possible.
Yes I would choose it and many of us would, but we are the exceptions. I doubt I would ever buy a .300 Win Mag.
