Hi Gents, I'm going to throw a curve ball at this one.
Around 30 years ago I got to know a rather eccentric gentleman who was an enthusiast of the .375 H&H . He lived in Sydney and was in the same profession as I.
He believed and was intent on proving that the .375 was and is the most inherently accurate caliber in existence! If he was with us today, he would be very capable of writing the article and proving beyond all doubt that the .375 is superior to the 6.5 crudmore in accuracy.
He wasn't a hunter, he was a bench rest shooter and had several.375 Remington 700's . His process was to buy a new 700 and have it rebarrelled by a renown Australian barrel maker with a benchrest standard heavy barrel , fit a Tasco 6x fixed power scope and proceed to shoot it off the bench. He actually damaged his shoulder so had a leather bag made up that was filled with lead shot
Why the Tasco 6x? He argued that 6x was the perfect sight for shooting the .375 off the bench and it would destroy any scope, so, for his purpose, the Tasco was much cheaper than expensive European scopes and when it failed, he just threw it in the bin and took another Tasco from his cupboard.
He was, at the time, in the process of writing an article, actually more like a dissipation, on the accuracy of the .375. I must track it down.
I would suggest that in the 3 or 4 years that I was in regular contact, he fired more rounds from his .375's than anyone else on the planet.
So there you are, a fair comparison and the .375 comes out the winner.

Cheers. JH
