White Crested Full Metal Jackets, 29", Blaver vains, 100gr. Muzzy.

When I rifle hunt for large game I usually use my 338 RUM with 250gr. Barnes X hand loads. or my 300 Win Mag with 180gr. Trophy Bonded BearClaws.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any .375 H&H magnums! Little meat damage (less then a .270) and not much more recoil then a .338 win mag...

Thats cause a .338win is almost the same ballistics as a 375 H&H and is cheaper to shoot  :P

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

I have other options on both sides of the power range, but I more often than not grab the .280.
