Re: 375 H&H Flanged magnum?

....... It is sad, but it seems that there is no way to justify the purchase of a new gun in that caliber.

I have no touble with an unusual caliber, but when there is no supply of good brass, I wonï¿½t by a new gun in that caliber.

I guess I have to look for a 9,3 x 74r, this is in the opposite end of the spectrum of "hard to reload" calibers.
I assume that the ballsistics would be very similar also.

If it was me I would much prefer a .375 Flanged Mag to a 9.3x74mm Rimmed. Having just said that I am having a 9.3mm double (a Tikka) delivered soon but hope to trade it in one day on a side-by-side .375.

The .375 is more traditional.

Also the .375 will be legal in many places on big five animals where a 9.3mm will not.

Maybe less important to you in Europe, but .375 projectiles would be easier to get than 9.3 mm ones ie outsde of Europe.

I am an optimist and would search for cases somewhere. At the moment I am using Bertram brass for my .450 no2.

Just like with bolt actions the 9.3mm and .375's make versatile rifles that can be used on medium AND large game.
