How many .375 H&H's and/or .416's do you own and shoot?

I have just had a Ronald Wharton 300 H&H delivered to me from UK . An absolutely beautiful rifle . 26 inch barrel , Oberndorff action , H&H quick detachable scope mount . Looking to use it in the Northern Territory in a few months .

I also have a Ron made Oberndorf in 275. Consecutive serial number with the 375

This one

I have one 375 H&H, Win Model 70 built in 1966. Push feed and it is a wonderful rifle. Don’t need anything else, .......
How could you survive that long!!!

I had a three alarm fever when I had three 375 H&Hs but sold one so the fever is subsiding. The two remaining are an AHR upgraded CZ550 375 H&H set up for Alaska and a Whitworth Interarms Safari Classic 375 H&H set up for Africa. Also have an AHR upgraded 458 Lott but didn’t get the 416 fever - yet.
 
1- 375H&H and a 458WM.
0 to both.

So very sad.....You really need a 375H&H. It will pair very nicely with any and all of your current firearms.

As for a 416, you definitely want the Rigby caliber, because it's the classic statement.....TIA. Or opt for a 458WM or 458 Lott,....as either of these latter 2 will say " I have my big boy pants on."
 
.458 winnie > Lott ;)

One day I’ll have a .375 H&H :)

Any day now (once the NICs comes back) I should be taking possession of a Ruger No 1 in 458 WM.

Can't even wait.

How much I'll shoot it? Who knows? I supposed a few times. Then I'll clean it up, shoot it now and then, until I can return to Africa for buffalo.

The plan was to get something in 375HH. I saw the 458WM and really liked it. I will probably still get a 375HH some day as well.
 
1.Holland .375
2. Pre 64 .375
3. Musgrave .375 ( ph rifle and my go to rifle)
4. Custom built .375 Truvelo (client gun) heavy barrel and stock this very shootable with reduced recoil.

Also have 4 x .375 Mannlicher rifles (9.5x 57)
.416 Taylor at gunsmith
458 Lott and 4x 404 J’s
2x 505 Gibbs one built on a Heym ultra magnum action the other is original Gibbs one of 23 still known to exist.

Definitely none of those 375 things...... :E Horrified: :E Horrified::E Horrified:....think had 4 Rigby 416 rigbys over the years....sold my last one quite a while ago....keep wondering why even now....:E Head Scratch:....so just my cz550 416 rigby with the synthetic stock....quite into the cz 550 these days....all being well got some qd mounts arriving this year for the 416, courtesy of a nice guy coming out here .:D Beers:....but it's bang on with the irons.
 
375's and 416's are easily among my favorite calibers. I've sold a few but currently have...

.375 Flanged Dakota 10
.375 H&H Sako
.375 H&H Champlin full custom
.375 Blaser R8

.416 Ruger
.416 Rigby Dakota 76
.416 Rem Blaser R8
Krieghoff 500/416 double

After that, I jump up in caliber to .458 Lott and various .50 calibers.
 
1- .375 H&H
1- .416 Ruger
1- .458 Lott
Planning on putting together a .375 Wby.
Had a .378 Wby… Too much of a good thing.
Had a .458 Win mag

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
