It works, but make sure you have a good story for your fellow nimrods. "I'am going to hunt the ones that shoot back in exotic places, and I want to get used to my rig under field conditons." Wink I much prefer .300Savage for local whitetails. dancing

Although I have not had the chance to shoot any animals last year, I carried my 375 RUM for deer and hogs. I have loaded some 260gr Accubonds not quite to max pressure for my rifle.

Since I've got my 375 H&H most of my other guns sit in the cabinet and collect dust. Every once in a while I'll use my AR-15 for coyote and fox but the hides down here aren't worth anything so I even use my 375 for them.

I've even thought about selling most of my other guns and stocking up on reloading supplies for my 375, and getting a better scope and what not.

I have used my 375 with 250 grain Barnes "X" bullets for 5 years now to hunt whitetail, feral hog, elk, and musk-ox.

In fact, it has become a toss up as to which rifle I grab when I leave the house to go hunting, my 375 or my 35 Whelen.

I have a new CZ 550 in 458 and I will hunt deer with that using 350 grain Hornady round nose bullets. I killed one whitetail with the first 458 I had, a tang safety Ruger mod. 77. Took the third vertabrae down from the skull, out the back of the neck, off hand at about 75 yards. Very little meat destruction on a neck roast and no tracking job.


Even the rocks don't last forever.

Had some Swift 250's laying around... so took them Deer hunting and you know what? They worked better than good.

Barnes has a 235 TSX now for the .375's that may be the ideal deer bullet for a 375 H&H. I am going to try them after mine arrives.
