Conifer, PM and e-mail sent.

I took a SAKO .375 H&H several years and turned it into a .300 H&H. Used a same taper 24" HART SS barrel. Had a few stock problems but finally got it all sorted out with a Mc Millian sporter stock. I use 180 NP's exclusively over either IMR4831 or RL22. I get right at 3000 fps and it's worked very well on several elk and a few deer over the years.



A few years ago I was willed a like new pre 64 in .300 H&H with a 26" barrel. I've only shot it a few times but it NEEDS to be taken out and used. Problem is that it's TOO minty to take out.



A bullet I've used in both .300's is the 190 gr Hornady BTSP over good OLD H-4831. VERY accurate. A good bullet for deer too.



IMHO........If a 180-200 gr thirty caliber at 2800 to 3000 fps isn't ENOUGH gun then you either need to move closer or learn how to place your shots.

Well, I will be very soon. I just picked up a 300 H&H M70 Transitional to go with my 375 Transitional. Need to get some Talley rings, bases, and brass. Can't wait to shoot it.



(Sorry, as I don't mean to hijack this thread, had to tell some people who'd appreciate it...)

Forrest,

Thanks! Got it off of Auction Arms. The seller was local and I was able to pick it up after work today.

It's in pretty good shape other than missing the rear sight. I might get it re finished/blued, but as it's a shooter, I'll hold off a bit.
