I would like to rebarrel a 375 H&H Whitworth rifle to 300 H&H. Would I have any feeding problems or any other problem? Thanks for your help, Bryan | ||

I am FAR from an expert but i think all you would have to do is rebarrel and check headspace. | |||

You might need another follower. I did this with a Winchester M70. I tried a .375H&H follower first and it didn't feed like I wanted it to, then put one in made for a 7STW and it feed like a champ. I bet you could just use a regular magnum follower (.300WinMag)and you'd be good to go. ![]() Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

300 H&H brass has all but dried up.....impossible to find.....and I've tried. I haven't looked for loaded ammo but suspect that's still out there somewhere.....I say this as I'd consider the .300 Weatherby over the .300 H&H for this reason. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

I had a .375 Sako Safari rebarreled to .300 H&H, no changes were needed. | |||

Thanks to everyone for all the help. I will check on the brass for the 300 H&H before I have the barrel replaced. Bryan | |||

Hey Vapodog, I talked to a guy at midway about this about a year ago. He said that brass like .300H&H, .257Roberts, 6.5X55 etc is only made during one run a year. After it's gone they usually are just out till the following year. Not a big deal, if you can't find any it probably sold better than they thought it would.

This makes more sense than any other statement I've heard...Thanks TC1 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

There are several non popular rounds in that category, the 375 H&H is another so is the 458 Win Mag. It makes sense if you think about it, set up to run the brass once and do a batch. What I do wish though is that I had a comprehensive list of the cartrides in this category, and what the teneative schedule was. It would save me running around chasing my tail at times. I do know that during Christmas the only place that had 458 Win Mag was Huntingtons, and they wanted about double what it should have gone for. | |||
