finally got my 375 h&h home!
« on: April 20, 2014, 09:04:52 PM »
I bought a win model 70 stainless classic 375 h&h off here in February. Bought it in puyallup on a business trip and couldnt bring home. Met my cousin and he brought it to me today. Installed a limb saver sissy pad today. Going to get some loc tight and I stall the scope and base tomorrow... ill post pics then. Got a egw base amd had to modify it for scope clearance. Ill also post pics of that too. Going to sight it in this week for spring bear!

All set now. Just needs a good cleaning and some range time!

Great cartridge, recoil on a H&H is very manageable. I think you will be surprised, more of a push as compared the the quicker recoil/ jump of let's say a .300 Win Mag. I hunted with a H&H for years and it anchored everything quick, Esspecialy Elk. Back then I used the 300gr Hornady BTSP. I did take one bear with the 270 Hornady. Then I changed to the 260gr Ballistic tip for a bit before for I switched completly over to the .375 Ultra Magnum and the 260gr Accubond.

. I know the recoil as not as sharp as others but just wanted to be proactive with the pad. These guns are hammers! I killed my elk last year with one using a 270 grain hornady and it flat leveled that bull! Completely ruined me... from that second i knew i needed my own. I am planning to shoot the 300 grain hornady btsp out of it but For spring bear this year I have some nosler custom ammo with 260 partitions ($40 a box was too cheap not to buy... wish they had more). Wishing o could skip out on work amd hit the range!

A 375 anything is a great choice! :tup:

I'll bet it shoots lights out. All of the 375s I've seen or owned have been extremely accurate with just about anything you can cram in there. I wouldn't be surprised if it shoots less than 1" at 100 for you.

I went and shot this afternoon. Got sighted In at 220 yards... that gun is a peach to shoot ! I like it. Best part was round numbers 6,7,8 went into a 1 inch group... at 220 yards! I was jacked  :IBCOOL: that was with a 10 power scope. Now I need to find a bear in a couple weeks  :chuckle:

I just hope I can get the 300 grain btsp to shoot so well after I shoot up all my factory loads! Why did it take me so long to get I to a medium bore hammer ???  :tung:
