    Custom Boots

    I recently inquired with Hodgon about working up some reduced 375 H&H loads for practice and to work back up to the recoil level of the 375 since its been years since I've shot anything without a muzzle brake or suppressor. I had heard that Accurate 5744 was good in reduced recoil loads and...
