One? Well, I've got one, but thats not stopping me from wanting another. Preferably on a real Mauser action, not an Americanized Mauser/Springfield hybrid action. It is the perfect cartridge. Recoil is very pleasant. (I find shooting the .375 more enjoyable than shooting a .30-06. I can go through three times as many rounds out of the .375 before developing the dreaded recoil headache than I can out of a .30-06.) It packs enough punch to down any animal on the planet, even if some of the bigger stuff needs a larger buffer zone between you and it when you pull the trigger.

If I could do it all over again, I would make the .375 H&H the first round I progressed to after .22LR, instead of .270 Winchester. Maybe then I wouldn't have spent years combatting off a flinch.

The bigger syndrome hits and I say that I want a .4-.5-something, but it all boils down to the fact that if I had to have one rifle, in one cartridge, and could never have anything else, I would have whatever rifle it was chambered in the .375 H&H. You don't have a cartridge pushing close to 100 years of praise with out there being something spectacular about it.

--------------------
500 is a nice round number, either followed by "Nitro Express" or by "cubic inch displacement".
