375 H&H my journey begins

Recoil was far less than I anticipated.




That's been my experience. The recoil of every rifle that I've fired, up to 458 Win Mag has been oversold. Not that the 375, 404 & 458 didn't get your attention when they fired, but it was always less than the devastating blow that experts had advertised.
 
For anyone interested I got a front sight hood straight from zastava online for about $11 shipped
Didn't need it but wanted one for original look. Not sure if it's the same but it fits.
 
yeah i found 375 handh to be fine, havent shot a .404 yet, id say 458 winmag is where recoil becomes a factor, you know its big... but its not insane, demands respect.
458lott gets pretty punishing... and you go from there

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
