Let’s have some .375 fun

[Tra3]

Guinea fowl, head shot. The bullet had enough energy to pass through the first bird and hit a second behind it that I had not seen.
My kids were watching and now they think I am a good shot. If only they knew that yes, sometimes, I am a good. Sometimes not.

See there Michael. If you would just shoot around those trees, instead of through them, you might not need so much gun....LOL!!!

What, maybe like "Heat Seeking Module in the nose of the Bullet", maybe it senses heat from buffalo, and goes around the tree? Hmmmmmm............ ??? ............Yeah, maybe.......... but being buffalo they require a hell of a lot more than .375.......... anyway, the Heat Seeking Module would not fit in such a rat ass little caliber anyway.......... No, just keep the 375s where they belong, for rats and now I see they make a dandy little Prairie Pin Dog rifle as well........ and have even been upped to JackRabbits, those things can get big......... I would not push it beyond that however.........

I once read that you could end to end a Jack Wabbit with a good 375 Solid. But still somewhat lacking in caliber. Definitely need to stay with a central nervous center hit.

Grey squirrel and I managed not to blow it apart too bad to skin out and cook.

When I've hit a jackrabbit running at 20 yards or less with my 500 I get wet ...

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

A very small warthog for the pot. It was delicious.

Damara Dik Dik.

Shot pigeons with my 375 Rum with and 260 Accubond. Hit one killed four others that were a little close. Another looked fine but was very red. Gave it a nudge with my foot and it walked off after a couple minutes flew off. I feel bad about traumatizing it to this day. Lol

Just before leaving for a Zimbabwe Cape buffalo hunt last year, I spent an afternoon with my .375 H&H shooting Richardson’s ground squirrels in a local pasture. I found the old style Federal 300 gr. Round nose cup and core bullets quite effective. Bullet placement did not seem critical.

Baboon!

 

[Ontario Hunter]

Don't own 375 but over the years I shot the heads off two grouse with my 30-06 (offhand). The last time was to save my bacon when moose hunting. I was too late coming out of the bush and fairly certain I wouldn't get back to the truck before dark. If I had to spend the night in the woods, I probably wouldn't make it. Had just half a sandwich in my pack to hold me over. That wouldn't be enough even if I could get a fire going. Shooting the grouse freed up the sandwich. Eating it gave me enough energy to get back to the truck. I drove home in a snow storm.

My only rifle besides a 22 LR is the 375. All the roe deer I shoot is with the 375.

Forest Duiker with 300Gr Winchester flat point lubaloy jacketed solid.

I shot a whitetail doe at about 50 yards with a 375 Remington ultra mag and a 270 grain factory load, it wasn't pretty!
