This is an amazing display. I love the smooth cycling from the shoulder. This is nearly as cool as @Aussie_Hunter, but to be fair he had an R8. Very impressive!

I'm not shooting African game with them...they were cheap and it was mostly a joke. It would be nice for someone to come out with Lott ammunition and not feel like it was worth $20/shot. Some times we like to hunt or shoot with big rifles and not spend our lunch money quickly.

500 grain Interbonds @2400fps! Fight me!

If it's a big bore...someone will pay a lot for it. I have always said that if I ever dropped my .458 Lott, it wouldn't hit the ground. The .450 NE crowd seems to be crazier than the Lotties. I always wondered about a .416 Rigby myself.

I'm not sure that's a thing on the tropical models. Perhaps for those pencil barrels...but The Beautiful Lady and The Businesswoman don't get excited about such things.

How does QL compare the .35 to the 9.3? I'd be curious to see what a 125 .357 xtp would do in a .35 W or even an AI. I'm forming the cases out of 06 brass either way...

That's a thought. A lot of potential there. Interesting concept and I enjoy how you stayed within the .30-06 wheelhouse on brass. Super cool idea. Well you've discovered what effect I'm looking for.

I hear you there, I was just trying to be more practical with the .30-06 or .308 cases I have in quantity. The .35 Rem seems to be drying up fast as far as I can tell.

Well it was going to be a ten inch barrel as that would be handier under a coat and such. Well the idea was to take .30-06 parent case and do something easy with it that would also work from a short barrel. It sounds as though the .358 Win is probably a better option for this application. I...

I think it would be like the .357 Sig...nificantly over powered, loud and a show stopper.

Now I know that this sounds ridiculous from the title, but hear me out. What are the load possibilities for this cartridge for extraordinarily light bullets and shorter barrels? I'm curious to know how it would do with .357 magnum bullets turned way up out of say a 10-15" barrel. Could this be...

I concur that this site fosters madness. I had a 300 Win Mag before I found this place. I had a curiosity about the .375 H&H and the digging I did here led to my own adventures with the medium and large bores. It has been enjoyable.

This is pretty awesome. Clearly demonstrates the control of the energy transfer on such a small and delicate animal.

I said that once about a leupold scope with a ridiculous camo pattern on it years ago mate. Old hat. Find something new.

.458 Lott running at 40 yards. 400 gr SP at 2100fps. .375 H&H running at 100 yards. 300gr Sierras. I haven't taken any with the other .375's as yet, but my Encore goes out after every rain during deer season. The Safari Express not as much. I'll have to work on that.

Hehe yes, yes it does, but it's fun and exciting. We can't always be bored by tame cartridges such as the two-forty-three...

Interesting concept. I should have to find a video that compares the three setups. That sounds very interesting indeed.

I neglected to entertain the break on the end of suppressor models. I wonder how effective that end break is and how it affects the sound signature. I am well aware of the recoil and noise mitigation properties of brakes and suppressors. They are definitely effective. I was more looking for...

Could you please clarify this statement? I am lost at the muzzle break not helping with recoil. Clearly they do offset recoil which makes me feel your meaning did not get fully expressed.

I believe you may be one of the few that's actually reading it correctly. Too many others see brake and are too concerned with voicing their visceral reactions to the brake. I believe the OP wants to run a suppressor and was weighing the options of how to attach said suppressor. It sounded...

Ruger made money on some guns and lost money on others. It was sort of a service to the common man to have a nice gun after buying so many service grade pieces. Glock essentially killed that whole idea once it got off the ground and running. Reliable plastic that is produced for less than $100...

Well I didn't have any safari magnums before I found this place.... Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice accurate.375 H&H #1? You know it would...:ROFLMAO:

Have you considered some of the CEB projectiles and loading them in your .375?

Base integrity...the base of the jacket will remain attached to the sides. The core will have made like Elvis and left the building. I'd have to say that hitting a whitetail with a .45-70 bullet above 2000 fps, the user should expect rapid disintegration. If it goes through the ribs, it's an...

I really like this answer. There's a lot of wisdom here. I'm not a fortune teller and flight time can be a make or break condition.

Enjoy, but be warned all the fudds swear that the .45-70 really kicks like a mule. :E Lol:When you ask them if they have fired a tropical model, they say, "A what?"

The resounding truth is that everyone who ever had a #1 in .375 H&H and got rid of it...has regretted doing so. Therefore let us go forth in life and not make such mistakes.

Now @CoElkHunter why would we want a .416 when we could have a nice .458?

I started with a .375 H&H Encore, bought a Ruger #1 .375 H&H, got drunk and bid on a M70 Safari Express .375 H&H, won it, bought a bunch of .458 Lott at the Nosler sale then needed a rifle, bought a .458 Lott Ruger #1. I can give you a bunch of reasons why I still have it all, but mainly because...

1. It's usss-stral-yuhhn. Anybody who's been on the forum more than five minutes has received a call from you and heard this. 2. I was wondering where that can went. I have this Leupold I needed to do up right. 3. I've reactivated my 1907 pattern sling and got it tuned up for the current...

If you were to shoot the gun at a measured distance and measure the offset result at that distance you could then input the sight radius, distance and offset into any front sight height calculator on the web and get your desired result. Then you go to Recknagel or NECG and order the correct part...

I don't even remember my reloads. The last time I shot in the field after the dust settled I realized I had fired and forgotten to reload. When I reached in my pocket for a fresh shell I found an empty and the chamber had a loaded shell in it. Just practice reloading every time you shoot. Want...

The real question is: What is the purpose of the groove in the forend? I have a theory, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Interesting thought being the caliber that wounds the most animals. How are you coming up with this data point that the .375 is so unshootable? Forgive me for my ignorance, but I find the most challenging part of shooting some of the larger rifles is due to the increased weight that most folks...

I'd agree that a .375 is not a starting point to some degree. For the most part the rifles are too heavy for many to be accurate with at first. If however someone can squeeze off a 12 gauge with buckshot or turkey shot and hit what they are aiming at, there is very little difference in the .375...

Why the 9.5x72 is more powerful than both of these cartridges! :ROFLMAO:

The thread is talking about rifles to hunt dangerous game not rifles to make hunting game dangerous... I like to use the DG horsepower for regular sized game. It's decisive and I rarely have to track anything for any distance. It's a soothing idea to use a .458. The projectiles are available...

Glock...19, 26 or 43x all MOS depending on hand size and fit. If you go with the 43x stick with 115's the 147's are stout. Get good night sights and a decent RDS and have a great day. No need to over think this.

No. The .375 H&H was not a D weight. If it was, then what sewer pipe was my Lott made out of?

The issue is that the frequency if the noise sometimes whites out a microphone. I'd like to hear it suppressed and unsuppressed for comparison.

It sits in the safe next to the .338WM...that says it all!:E Laugh::E Lol:He's got another rifle in a useful caliber that he actually uses! Buy a useful caliber like .243 or .30-06 or .375! Never thought I'd get to rag on @CoElkHunter and @Bob Nelson 35Whelen with one post so eloquently stated...

I just fitted fixed sights from Ruger. It was inexpensive.

I've always admired them since I was young. My father was anti magnum. Believed a .30-06 was all one needed. The tropicals have always called me. Ah yes, ye olde sewer pipe with sights. My Lott is quite durable looking for apocalyptic melee fighting or prying at things or possibly pull-ups...

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen actually has a .35 AI so that's proof positive that the Whelen is a dog that needs improvement. :V Poke::A Whacky::A Stirring::A Outta:

I have similar finding about the .375. if you want a softer bullet load the 300 grain Sierra Game Kings. They'll expand a tad and still not spoil your meat. Also a BC of .4ish if you want to reach out further. Truer words...it's hard to leave it behind when going on a hunt, but sometimes I just...

You've got the "old style" front sight insert should you wish to change it. It refers to the hole where the retainer pin locks the sight in is situated being ahead or behind the sight. The rear sight is nothing more than a marble flip up. You can struggle with them and their poor visibility...

These locks are very easy to open without the combination.

Talk about absolute heresy given my knife collection and fleet of suitable hunting knives, but the last two times I killed game this was all I had along. So much for the five P's. It performed well enough, but a larger bellied blade would have been more forgiving. Just my EDC knife that's sharp...

@Kevin Peacocke buy back your .375H&H #1!

@HankBuck it's not a monogamous relationship with Glock, but rather that particular tool came into preference due to easy of carry and minimal maintenance requirements. If a certain other manufacturer had gotten their feces consolidated and produced a 10mm years ago, I would gladly have gone...
