scored me a new 375h&h

[Buckmark]

Right on, the .375HH is on my list right next to a .416REM.......
Why........Because........

I'd love to have a 375 H&H, I mean I already have a 300 H&H, love it. I wanna see pictures.

NO NO NO...416 RIGBY.....I GOT that..need a .375 H&H and a 300 H&H to go with it.

Yeah, I was looking for a lighter caliber for hunting prairie dogs, too.   Thinking about a nice flat shooting rifle like a .450 Marlin. 

I have used my 45-70 lever gun on songdogs and chucks.......it is not as neat as one would think......nothing like a sierra 165gr hollw point at 3600

I used to have a 375 H&H sold it and got the 375 RUM...  They both kill stuff..

Good score! I hand an Encore in 375 H&H. I loved the idea of that gun, unfortunately I just couldn't get it to shoot well. Sold it and went with a 375 Ruger in the Hawkeye Alaskan. It's my favorite rifle/caliber. I can't think of anything that a 375 wouldn't be perfect for!

The only gun that could possibly be better would be a 416 Rigby.

Should be a great elk rifle! I'd like to have a 375 H&H someday.

Just loaded some 270 Hornadys for a buddy over Re-15.  Tackdriver.

How was the recoil on the 375 Ruger?  (compared to the H&H?)  I am ogling a left hand 375 Ruger now.  My next rifle I think. 

[yorketransport]

Recoil from the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan is not bad at all. Scoped and loaded it weighs 9lbs. I can shoot it 30-40 rounds before it stops being fun. Compare that to the 375 H&H in the Encore of the same weight which stoped being fun after 15-20 rounds from the bench. It's not a fair comparrison thought. there stock and recoil pad on on the Encore don't do much to help with heavy recoil. In either gun though, I think that the 375 is perfectly managable if you aren't sitting at the bench.

When my cousin first started deer hunting with my family and i, he was using a 375h&h and he shot 5 or 6 deer with it and never ruined any meat with it... we were all pretty surpised by it

[coachcw]

for 150yards in its a masher after that it a  plow. I'd still love to get my hands on a .375 ruger , I got a encore with a 7mm heavy vx2 and a .280 with a vx2 . both stainless ,I'd trade for a .375 ruger .

[high country]

I expect to kill some coyotes with it soon

[MikeWalking]

Who DOESN'T need a .375?  I do.  I might, someday, go hunt bears or water buffalo and really need one.  I just want to be prepared when the day comes.   

AMEN!  When the Flesh eating aliens descend from the Mother Ship we will all need one, nothing less will do...

I use RL 15 in my RUM works good. I was getting almost 3000 fps out of my 270 grain barnes X bullets...
