Where is the 465 H&H Belt. Mag?
#243254 - 05/03/14 01:56 AM

As we are here discussing big bores I think it is pretty sad that 465 H&H developed in 2003 never catch on. Looking at the cartridge design and dimensions http://www.cip-bobp.org/homologation/uploads/tdcc/tab-iii/tabiiical-de-page38.pdf
I have the feeling that in power it can easily surpass the 458 Lott and is on pair with 450 Rigby but with the pronounced tapered case which makes the feeding easier. I think W. Romey did a good job for H&H but it seems no one cares about it.
Are there any hunters who have ever seen a rifle chambered so?

I haven't heard of it but then again, I didn't realise that the 450 Rigby exisited until about a year ago, and I've only seen one of those.

It's all about marketing, no matter what the technical benefits are, and after you make it known that it exists, you gotta make people want one. Classic tale of the old video tape story - Beta was better than VHS (smaller tapes better quality video) but VHS was marketed quite aggressively and became more popular, and eventually killed off Beta.

I believe Holland and Holland are keeping it proprietary.

I think its made from .460 Weatherby, bullet diameter is same as the rimmed cartridge of same designation. Pretty neat really. They once again used the belt for its intended purpose.
