Here we go again i guess. Why are some of the people on here so darn close minded?
To call the 375 H&H adequate and not a hot 45-70 is perfectly ludacris! The 45-70 out penetrated the 375 H&H, 458WM, & the 500NE at the Linebaugh Seminar.
And to say that a 500gr solid @ 2000fps is the min. would disqualify many cartridges that are "adequate" such as the 375.
And as for how many holes are in the rhino, I dont know. But I have read many accounts of other more "adequate" rounds having to be pumped into DG. Isnt this one of the supposed advantages to a bolt gun? So if the rhino did require more than one shot I will not concede that that disqualifies it as adequate.
As for the 458WM, when it was fairly new it had some powder problems that kept it from reaching its potential. Jack Lott didnt like this so he wildcatted the 458 Lott. The factory later corrected this (all well documented), and it isnt an issue now.
And to compare using the 45-70 to using a 22 is the stupidest thing I have ever heard and I wont dignify it with a response. There is a difference in a DG hunting rifle and a stopping rifle. A PH uses a stopping rifle. I never called the 45-70 a stopping rifle.
And like I have said so many times before, I do not like the 45-70 more than classic rounds. I do not like the LA more than classic actions. All I am saying is that there is nothing wrong with using it. Why on earth you pepole wont concede this is beyond me.
