For the Phillistines who prefer a bolt action what can I say? At hunting ranges (out to 300 yards) a .375 Flanged will shoot as well as .375 Bolt. The Brit standard of 3"/4 shots/100yards is as accurate as needed for hunting.

Reminds me of a time in Zambia when I was talking to a fellow from Florida about our guns for Buffalo. He had a .375 in a Winchester and I had .577 3". He said that he was going for accuracy over firepower.

Three weeks later I found out from his PH that he accurately hit his Buff 7 times . I overfire powered my buff once.
