Season is already half gone over here... I used a ceracoated stainless 7mm Wby in a Mcmillan stock loaded with Barnes TTSX on Fallow and Reds with great success and if I get a chance at Chital or Rusa later this year it will be my 300Wby U/L also with the Barnes TTSX. Finally in November if I am not in the far north of Oz after pigs and buff I will go south after Sambar Deer and that will be with my 35/284... probably loaded with Hornady SP's.

I just got a new Winchester Model 70 Safari Express in .375H&H, for deer hunting this year it's going to wear a Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40 with #4 reticle. I may replace the scope with a Docter Optics 1.5-6X42 as it would be a better all around scope for this rifle. I normally use a Husqvarna 1640 in 6.5x55, but the new .375 is such a nice rifle that I will use it instead for most of my hunting this year.


It's not the caliber of the rifle that matters - It's the caliber of the man behind it.

6.8 SPC in an AR-15, Barnes 95 grain TTSX at 2700 fps. It blows through coastal Texas whitetails and feral hogs with ease, accurate, deadly, light recoil, sweet shooter.

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

Husqvarna 146 in 9,3x62

Oh, nice choice!

Now I know this sounds silly but I'm hunting mule deer in Wyoming with a .375 H&H. That's because it's a combination mule deer/bison hunt and I don't own a 30/06. I could use the .318 WR but I don't want to scope it and mule deer ranges can be a tad long.

Nice rifle, nice scope. I have the same scope on my 9.3x62.
