Another .375 H & H post...
03/10/06 05:30 AM

Good afternoon,

I am seeking input from others on something I read recently: if one Googles deerstalker index and goes to that site there is an interesting article regarding improving the 375. The essence of the article as I read it was that this caliber's performance could be improved by downloading it to 9.3 x 62 mm velocities.

This position seems to be also made by Gregor Woods, rifle editor of SA's Magnum magazine, in his seminal work, Rifles for Africa. Inter alia, he argues that most shooting there is inside of 300 yards and these velocities allow bullets (whether of conventional of premium grade) an opportunity to do their work. He also gives time to making the argument in this book that the .375 is such a truly lone competitor for the title of all-rounder that when distance shooting is done the most success for the hunter will be in re-zeroing the scope on the rifle.

I would welcome all relevant experience and opinions on this matter as I have decided to use this caliber as the basis of a custom rifle project employing the technology of Empire Rifle's Mauser action.

Cheers!
Jeff
