I know many PH's that load their .375 H&H to its full potential for DG hunting.

quote:

The traditional load with a 300 grains bullet is given at 2,530 fps. I have seen that some go as high as 2,650 fps. The PMP factory load for 300 gr Soft give 2,428 fps and their 286 gr Solid give 2,493 fps, as advertised - in the past PMP's loads were higher for the 375 H&H, but they have reduced all of them to lower pressure levels.

Here are examples of sterling bullet performance when the 375 calibers are loaded to and beyond 375H&H velocities.

Wow, it kills hard bossed bulls when it is loaded to potential

There are several terms for a 375 loaded beyond traditional 375 H&H velocities:

375 Weatherby
375 RUM
375/404
etc

They all work, so does a 375 H&H loaded to it's traditional velocity.

But 375 Wby with H&H ammo lets you have the option of a "slow 375" if you get excited by that.

Watching Saaed's posts on his rifles over the years he seems to have settled for a 300 grainer at about 2750 from his 375/404 and he has been down to 2600 and up through to 3100 with the 375 Lazzeroni (like a 375/416 Rigby Improved). His settling on 2750 is a big endorsement for the 375 Wby.

.375 Wby makes the most sense of all the various .375s, I LOVE mine. 2,800fps with a 300gr bullet is easy and with no high pressure when using H4350 Extreme and you can use standard .375 H&H in a pinch if needed. Roy really got it right with the .375 Wby.

VVarrior, are you making fun of Warrior?

RIP,
How could you think that of me? (Gasp!) Never would I make fun of Warrior, it would be unkind to midgets (mental) to do such a dastardly thing.

The opposite of high speed/velocity cartridges - and these guys are making fun of modern man and they are having fun at the same time ... and no need to make fun of anyone ... they love fun itself !!! As can be seen adequate velocity seems to be a nebulous concept. I do know what excess velocity is, I might add.

I can't recall a previous invite but, if you are buying, why not? Sounds like a good idea. How about the Timber Wolf Spur lunch time (13:00) tomorrow?

Tell me where you stay. Last time you told me you were far away from Jhb. Perhaps I can arrange my next trip through your town and meet you there. Give me your tel nr so I can contact you to make arrangements and get directions.

Would love to meet you in person.
You can send me a PM, and keep it private between us.

Warrior
