The .300 H&H

I've owned several magnum 30's but never a 300H&H until a couple of years ago. Was lucky enough to find a Dakota Traveler in 300H&H/375H&H about 3yr ago, and 2yrs ago stumbled on a Browning FN that was custom restocked in a beautiful French walnut. Both had been shot very little so I decided to give them a whirl and to my amaizement they really shoot my favorite Swift 200gr A-frames at the perfect velocity of 2775-2800 for Africa. Both shoot under 3/4". and they both shoot Scirocco 180 at 2900 at just over 1/2".
I've used a 300WM and my beloved 300WBY (I built 40yrs ago to Sheep & Elk Hunt and its been on 5 Continents) on the last 4 trips to Africa but looking forward to using a 300H&H in Feb Uganda!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
