I am no expert but just repeating the published information, such as from "The Big-Bore Rifle" by Michael McIntosh: 375 Flanged NE, 2 1/2": 270 gr., 2340 ft-lb. 375 Flanged Magnum NE: 270 gr./300 gr., 4060/3850 ft-lb. ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

The .375 H&H Flanged Magnun, the .369 Nitro Express by Purdey [also flanged] and the Belted/Rimless .375 H&H Magnum are generally seen as being in the same league I believe. Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

Obviously Will didn't understand the difference.  ----------------------------------------------- "Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder." | |||

I didn't know about the 369 NE by Purdy, or I might've built one of those instead of the 375 flanged mag! I couldn't find (or maybe couldn't afford...or maybe wouldn't afford) one (375) in a DR so I'm building it on a Ruger No 1 action and am starting the HADRSS.

OK, what's the biggest game one should tackle with the .375 2 1/2" ? Any opinions ? ____________________________ .470 & 9.3X74R Chapuis' Tikka O/U 9.3X74R Searcy Classics 450/.400 3" & .577 C&H .375 2 1/2" Krieghoff .500 NE Member Dallas Safari Club | |||

Finding ammo for it!!!  No, really, I suppose with 2400 ft. lbs. it would be great for hogs, close-up deer...But, I would leave it home when going on a safari. JMHO, JW | |||

It was intended for use on ordinary game, and makes a nice NA double. It was widely used on dangerous game in India (it was designed as a replacement for the .303 when that caliber was banned in India in 1899), and Africa as well with some success, but that's pushing it. Elmer Keith was extremely fond of his, and that says a lot. --------------------------------------------- "Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder." | |||

400 Nitro Express, I think you would agree it is NOT to be placed in the same group as the three I mentioned above, right? Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||
