Every now and then someone comes up with a round that really is just near impossible to make better in an all around way.
The 375 H&H is one of those very few rounds.
Many will say that anyone can shoot it. That isn't necessarily true. I know people who really can't shoot a 243 and that kinda leaves them out of shooting anything that leaves leftovers after you cook it .
But! In my estimation, it is the best round ever created for the above average hunter to use in the slaughterhouse that is africa.
And seeing that it always comes up, let's just touch on its ability to knock the daylights out of game animals that are considered by most as the real dangerous game that Africa has to offer. I, being a great big giant sissy, do not use nor recommend the use of it for, elephants, capes, lions or hippos and am here to also state that the 375 has probably killed more of them that all other rounds combined. Its just me. I have and do sing the praises of the 378 Weatherby, but will never say that it is as useful to as many as the H&H simply because it isn't for everyone. I also do not say that its the right stuff for DG even though 6000 ftlbs is a lot of every it doesn't doo things like 500 + grains will do.
As far as killing pg goes, I believe that there should be a law that the 375 should be the minimum to be allowed to end their lives. And though I have used a 264 to wack medium plains game I shot an Impala with an absolutely perfect shot right in its heart and it ran at light speed until it slid in nose first deader than Julius Ceasar after about 250 yards. I believe the 375 would have put him down on the spot.
Sure! If you ask many people will say that a controlled feed only is the way to go even if they have never had any problems, nor do they know anyone who has ever had any either.
I have a handful of 375's and 378's.they all ha be specific uses and specific rounds made for them, they all function correctly and nothing has bullets heavier than 300 loaded for them.
