I think some folks are misinterpreting an earlier comment so
I'll clarify.

I brought up the 375H&H in an earlier post as an example of a rifle that would kill an elephant with a proper shot from the front in a charge, not as a rifle that could be counted on to stop or knock down or turn an elephant. This is in contrast to the 45/70 which does not have the velocity to ensure the pentration needed to reach an elephant's brain from the front.

Bulldog,

The statistics you sight from Zim doesn't refer to PH's but to "citizen hunters". Certainly a less experienced and skilled group. To complete the citation, all using the 375 were hurt or injured, sixty percent using 450/470 class rifles escaped injury, none using 500 class rifles were injured. Small sample, especially for the bigger rifles though.
