CR, you might get away legally with the 'Big-Bore' somewhere, but that may not make the Africa project a good idea. I suppose the 375 Win might be OK for leopards but I wouldn't want to try it on buffalo or elephant.


I think its replacement, the 356 Win, is more powerful. How the later, side-eject 94 action handles a cartridge almost a rimmed equivalent of the 358 Win is something I'd like to hear explained, however.

G'day Paul,

I have a model94 angle eject in 356. I think you will find it has the same size action as your 375. Slightly beefier than the standard model 94. Recommended loads are generally 2 grains below the 358Win loads. I have not used the rifle extensively as my kids came along and pig hunting went out the door. However it does handle both factory and home loads with no problems.How it does it? well all I can put it down to is a beefed up action, bolt and locking lug.

Hope that might help.

Cheers
Greg
