All of these articles must be evaluated very critically because nowadays, for many reasons, especially commercial ones, no one will write that the cartridge 375 H&H Magnum is marginal for big game and especially for buffalo hunting. The conclusion at the end of the various articles on the topic...

It's hard to explain recoil at distance to someone who has never shot such a rifle caliber 375 H&H Magnum or at least one similar to it. @steve71 the TS also does not take part in the discussion, so we don't know what was the biggest cartridge that he shoots.

Based on some posts and in particular replies to mine, I also now mean that that might be a better solution. If @steve71 has a problem with shooting the rifle caliber 416 Remington Magnum, he may not be well prepared to use a rifle caliber 375 H&H Magnum, despite the not very strong recoil of...

Maybe, some things I can understand, others seem to me to vary from one person to the next, but it's OK, agreed.

It's true that many people have a flinch when waiting for the recoil, but If you want to shoot accurate, you have to lose this habit , no matter what caliber you shoot, even the biggest ones. During hunter training, we see flinching as something very negative that has to be trained away or...

Everyone has to decide for themselves. When you start hunting big game and especially buffaloes, you have to gain experience first and starting with the cartridge 375 H&H Magnum is not a bad option. Whether you should buy a rifle of this caliber at first as long as you are not sure about which...

As far as recoil is concerned, the cartridge 375 H&H Magnum is more to classify to the category of the various cartridges caliber 9,3mm. In all cases, the recoil of the cartridge 416 Remington Magnum is significantly stronger but still very manageable, so if you can handle a rifle of this...

It is sure that the cartridge 375 H&H Magnum is overvalued, no matter which bullets are used. The cartridge is marginal for big game hunting and for this reason one should justly pay attention to the bullets used with it, but the solids also count to a certain extent.

That can be discussed. Regardless of which bullet is used, in my opinion the cartridges 375 H&H Magnum and 9,3mm are marginal for hunting big game. Nevertheless, for various reasons I had to shoot buffaloes with this cartridges and with various bullets, among other things three water buffaloes...

The M1917 Enfield bolt action is well suited for such longer cartridges. I also own a rifle caliber 300 H&H Magnum that was built in Germany in 1964 with such an action. Rifles caliber 416 Rigby were built with it shortly after WWII when Mauser Magnum actions were in short supply and A-Square...

This is the case worldwide, including in our countries in Europe. The market for used classic hunting guns and rifles is down. At the moment, rifles are offered far below the price and are often not sold. Some expensive rifles are sold for far less than their real value. As far as modern...

I am not an expert, but by chance I bought years ago an old double rifle caliber 577 Nitro Express from Webley & Scott , which has a PHV-1 action. This was communicated to me at a later date, but I myself don't knew that before. Afterwards I also noticed that many double rifles from Rigby or...

If you want to hunt heavier non-dangerous game species and cannot really decide on the cartridge, choose the cartridge 300 Winchester Magnum or a similar one. Cartridges caliber 308 and bullets from 180gr to 200gr work well on many game species and with the cartridge 300 Winchester Magnum such...

The advantage of the cartridge 338 Lapua Magnum is to achieve with the heavy bullets of this caliber class high muzzle velocity to be able to shoot at long range and still have a good terminal ballistic. I also achieve the velocities quoted here with the cartridge 340 Weatherby Magnum and even...

I don't reload the cartridge 9,3x62, but the cartridge 9,3x64. For latter I mostly use Large Rifle Magnum primers, although it is not always recommended, not even in the reloading manual from RWS for example. For the cartridge 9,3x62 I would use Large Rifle primers, as recommended in most...
