Re: Let’s discuss the 375H&H. Without emotion
Calibre may make little difference soft skin animals as the skin barely presents any resistance to a high velocity projectile, but on tough skin animals its a different story.
Why is it so hard to understand with regards to personal preference? Get over the fact some some people like the .375H&H and some like it for the "old school romantic", quiet what is so wrong about that?One too many wasted sunsets and one too many for the road .........

Re: Let’s discuss the 375H&H. Without emotion
There's a good post on the Big bore rifles Africa page on Facebook on the versatility of the 375 and a management hunt was mentioned where 6 buffalo were shot, distances sub 50 to 100m. All 6 did not require follow up shots. Two eland bulls were also shot at around 150m and 175m. I do know the shooter in question, CZ550 , swift A frame 300gr were used. He owns two larger calibres, a 458 and a double(can't recall calibre), but still chose the 375 as he knew it would be a mixed distance/animal hunt. Obviously A PHs calibre requirements to "stop charges" are different to the average hunter .

Treeman, I doubt they ever argued the size of stones 100 000BC. When dropped bigger was better. No recoil. Flat trajectory. Minimal meat damage. The puny 7mm's would simply stand in awe of the rock stars.

Re: Let’s discuss the 375H&H. Without emotion
Messor, you are doing it again....trampling on our beloved traditional classic caliber rifle by comparing a Ruger 375 with the one and only .375 H&H Magnum... The disadvantage of a .375 Ruger is it`s ammo when hunting in Africa...not many Kukka shops sell .375 Ruger ammo...while I believe you will get .375 H&H Magnum ammo in most shops in rural Africa ....but there is an advantage to using a .375 Ruger....I can fire form 8x68S brass from it... Next you are going to mention the 6.5 Creedmoore is better than the 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser ???

,375 Caliber is great caliber in any brand name ...not many other calibers who has achieved what this caliber did from many, many years ago to what it still will be doing two hundred years into the future for sure...any make, any brand in a .375 caliber is a great designed caliber ...
