375 H&H vs 300 H&H

[Pondoro]

I used my ZKK 602 in Namibia...took some shots out to 270 - 280 meters.. I used Federal factory with 260gr. Nosler accubond and factory Remington 270 gr. core locked and reloads with 235 gr. Barnes X..all worked well.. Actually those Remingtons work nicely on game like oryx, kudu and wildebeest..bullets found right under the skin on the opposite side..

The one far right is a trophy bonded 250 grainer...big dissapointment..

@Pondoro
The second from the right looks like a classic accubond.

@WAB can you post a few pics? I’d love to see how it looks now and how it groups.

Sure thing, I’ll post it on the Mauser thread.

Expantion down to 1600fps because of the Piston.

I have the VRG-3 in 200gr .308" and 300gr .375".

Here is the senario.
I own 2 375 H&H rifle both on Brno ZKK 602 actions with pop up peep sights in the receiver.
Converting one to 300 H&H will be a pain in the arse.....

I am thinking using the original one with longer barrel with 270gr premium bullets in 270gr for longer range work(2700fps) max 300 meters and the custom 24" barrel one with 340gr bullets(2300fps) for bushveldt hunting.....

Bear in mind I eat what I hunt and with our stringent gun laws rebarreling to 300 H&H as mentioned will be apain in the arse...

This will be for larger pg species and for the smaller ones I will stick to 7x57mm...

Would it be possible to do it with this?

300 H&H is a good round. I've fired them through my .300 WBY Mag a few times. Much cheaper, and they reach out ALMOST as far. For deer and such they've always worked great, but I haven't tried them on anything bigger. The .300 WBY Mag is an EXCELLENT round, though. I wouldn't rule that out as a possibility. They do have quite a bit more knock down power, and they don't drop as much. I do plan on using it for bear, and I've heard that it works great. As far as African game, I really have no idea. The 35 or 375 would probably be better for that, but I think those are a bit overkill for deer.

Recoil isn't too bad with the .300 H&H or WBY Mag, but I have no experience with the other two.

If it is for longer range than 375 h&h hut the same capacity as 375 h&h why not a 375 wby CRF.

With both H&Hs you will not have to worry about adjusting to a different bolt cycle length-they will both cycle just the same.
Ammo availability will be a breeze with the 375, not so much the 300 H&H, especially an emergency restock overseas in case of lost luggage.
