Booked to go back to Limcroma in Aug of 2025. Thinking about another buff and maybe lion, so got to thinking about getting me a big bore rifle. Well started surfing GB and found me a Winchester model 70 .375 H&H. Bid on it and ended up winning. Now to get me and it shooting straight and finish planning.

I took a 375 H&H on my safari in 2022, and I shot a cow buffalo and a lioness, among other PG animals. I used Barns Vortex ammo in 300 grs and worked wonderfully. I purchased the ammo from R&M Firearms, ask for Mark Biggerstaff, he is a pleasure to deal with. If he doesn't have the ammo, he'll find it for you.
 
Thanks for the info. My FFL contact actually gave me a box and a half of reloads that he had. So definitely looking for ammo.
 
Unless you trust your FFL with your life and those reloads were made for that rifle, I would not use those reloads. Take them apart and loaded them with powder you know. My 2 cents.
 
The 375H&H is a near do-it-all cartridge for Africa. Premium expanding bullets like the Barnes TSX, Swift A-Frame, Norma Oryx and Federal Trophy Bearclaw in 300 grain will serve you well for nearly everything.

Add in about 10 solids like CEB’s or Woodleigh Hydros for the T10, elephant and rhino…good to go.
 
Beautiful rifle, I love mine as well and it shoots better them I can. I'll second Para45 on not using those handloads though. Good luck on your hunt
 
Congrats on the new addition!
 
Magnificent catch (the Super Grade stock is just icing on the cake). I assume post 1992-pre 2006 New Haven manufacture ?

Since you have both Cape buffalo & lion on your menu, I'd highly recommend 300Gr Hornady DGX Bonded factory loads. If only Cape buffalo is on the menu, then I'd strongly recommend the 300Gr Barnes TSX.

NEVER trust another person's hand loads. It's a disaster waiting to happen since you don't know how they were loaded.

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),

Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?

What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?

Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.

Happy hunting - Daniel

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)
