.375 H&H Magnum Explained 

Thats really good to hear mate, if you need a hand with anything on your path to rifle ownership, give us a shout.

@@tgsoutdoors Well done.

Like my beloved .338 Win Mag.

Good luck.

I agree fully regarding the percevable recoil, I have 300WM and 375H&H barrels for my Blaser R8 and I prefer the 375’ s recoil even at quit the same rifle weight 4,235 kg (300WM) and 4,137 kg (375 H&H) both with Swarovski Z6 1,7-10x42.

I find mine to be highly effective on jackrabbits.

Thankyou mate

Wich calibers do you like?

@@dimmacommunication i do use bigger caliber , 375 h&h is a good killer , but not a good stopper, so if you want to engage buffalo in very tick bush and in close proximity i suggest you use 416 rigby , 458 lott , 460 weatherby.

Shame they wont grant one for Fallow, and i have no plans for Africa until 2020!

The Gun Shop I dont know how your laws are, but here in Sweden it’s no problem to hunt with one.

@@davidjohansson2282 Sounds like a trip to sweden is in order. I know a few guys with them (both in scotland), but you have to justify each calibre you own here in the UK. Hard when they think that 243 is plenty for all the deer species around here, and anything bigger takes some convincing.

@Professor Waffle Sure the .308 is a more reasonably caliber i many ways, but first of all its not legal too hunt DG i Africa in most parts with something smaller than the .375 H&H so if you want one rifle that can do it all around the globe the .375 H&H it is. If I just look too the hunting in Sweden there is no other caliber that has taken down more Moose than our 6.5X55 in the Sweden forest. So i guess everything comes down too what ju want too do with your rifle of choice, but if I wasn't going too choose the .375 H&H i probably would have chosen the .30-06.

@Professor Waffle Well the use of firearms for defence is strictly illegal in Sweden, if you ever use your firearms in such way you will loose your permission to own firearms and will be in jail for a couple of years depending on the situation. Here in Sweden we use our firearms for hunting, sporting or target-shooting, so I am talking about the .375 H&H strictly as a hunting caliber because that's what its ment for.

This is great. Only a real rifle enthusiast would decide to buy a new rifle to fit the scope rings that don't fit the rifle they were bought for!

Did you buy one at the end ? I’m getting a mod 70 in .375 H&H magnum in a month. I already got one in .223 absolutely love them rifles

cause nobody uses it :)

it's because most people shoot a 375 four times per year. Twice to sight in, twice to kill the animal.

@@dimmacommunication They might use it once. Then it is off to the chiropractor.

375 H&H is my only centerfire rifle and it is wonderful

Good grief man I live in Utah seems like too much gun for mule deer

I'll stick to my 375 H&H... For everything

The .375 was created specifically to compete with that round and yes it is a great round.

You are quite right, I have 2 of this calibre, a Mauser 98 and a BSA CF 2 fitted with a moderator. The BSA will, if I do my part, produce sub 1 MoA at 100 yards with my home loads. But it is softer and more accurate than my .375 H&H by David Lloyd. Yet to try a 9.3 x 64 maybe one day!

9.3x62 will not reliably penetrate into an elephants brain , on a frontal shot. The 350 gr 375 h&h does it easily. I’m not familiar with the 380 grain offering in 375 mag.

@@kevi152 so i guess a lot depends on the circumstances of the shot ie how dangerous, in which case maybe the heavier .375 round. My south african mates all love the 9.3 (as i do), and Im also a .416 Rigby fan.

Where is that?

You could also try installing a thick premium recoil pad (e.g. Pachmayr) on a non-auto rifle with the stock cut shorter than you usually would so you can add a slip-on pad on top of that one. If you know the size of the pads beforehand you get the additional bonus of having the stock set to your ideal length. Slip-ons also increase the surface area of the buttstock which helps too. A shooting vest, a suppressor or a muzzle brake could round it off nicely.

Where abouts begins me?

5:00 just above your left ear. I think thats what you were asking...?

Beach&BoardFan the powder flask?

Awww bummer, was watching on my phone, looked like a 17 incinerator or one of the other joke cartridges. This... bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2017/04/17-incinerator-ultimate-varmint-cartridge-with-mach-5-speed/

Beach&BoardFan you do know that’s was an April 1st, April fools day joke...

not the elephant its minimum caliber for it pro hunter dont use minimum Calibers on the big jumbo they prefer 557 t-rex or 460 i had a 375 rifle it just lack the power

This is a great video by TGS. In answer to your question, if you search on RU-vid you'll find posts of ELR shooting by 'Markand Sam Afterwork' and others taking the range out to 3135 yards (2867m) in the .375 H&H

Paul Simmons 30/06 average 20 foot pounds 375 H&H 37 foot pounds you want to run that BS past us again.

vilsiran maybe he has it ported and has the worlds thickest limbsaver

@@vilsiran calculated recoil and felt recoil are 2 different things. How do you know he doesn't have a 10 pound 375? Or a 5 pound 30-06? Simply spouting off facts from a recoil calculator does not equal reality

To all, my 375 is a Winchester 70 Safari Express with scope, weighs a ton compared to my wife's 30-06/20" Steyr Mountain Rifle with the scope. For plinking at the moment, I use some 275g 375 rounds but have ran DG Norma, Federal, and Hornady through it and they're not brutal at all. Their boxes all list them as DG level ammo, again, the recoil is not too bad. My wife's choice of ammo for the '06 is either 165 or 180's, that rifle kicks! Also, her Steyr has an adjustable LOP, set for her. My 375's stock fits me and helps to reduce the "felt" recoil. When I said that my 375 didn't seem to kick as bad as it probably could, I was talking about "my" 375. If you own a 375 that hurts to shoot, there are ways to lesson your recoil. As for my M70, she's heavier than I'd like but, from everyone's comments, a dream to shoot. FYI, my favorite deer rifle is one of my other M70's, a Featherweight in 257 Roberts. If you guys ever want to talk about a caliber with hardly any recoil, that's the 257 Roberts. Take care and be safe!

Original Mauser make the classic Mauser with leaf sights and all. You can get one for less than 9000 euros in Germany. This is the rifle which Rigby use for their big game series. the Mauser is the no frills version of the Rigby. I have a Holland 375 h&h from 1914 and it is far superior to any new fancy straight pull or Sauer & Sohn rifle. Get the Original Mauser; you will never regret it.

I have one R8 Professional in 375H&H :very accurate, not to heavy (3,4 kg) and it works well.

We don’t say Aitch here either Stephen.

They are except for the big cases like .378, 416, 460 and the rounds Weatherby made from them.

Quite probably - but it doesn't say magnum in the title, so it couldn't possibly be as good.....

Yeah Bee no not really . 9.4 x 64 brenneke perhaps but not the 62mm. The brenneke 375 ammunition is extremely flat shooting with a 270grain bullet and surpasses even the 9.3x64.

And much more the 9,3x64

@@kevi152 You are very wrong about the 9,3x64 vs the .375 H&H

AustrianJager i have used both. The holland is far better in practice. The ruckstoss is angenehmer! The range of bullets is better. The 350 grain is superb for elephants. The 9.3 x 64 is a modern cartridge but just another good cartridge on paper, but not that wonderful. The new hornady sp series and the double tap ammo shoot flatter than the Brenneke 9.3x64. Indeed the 9.3x62 otto bock is as good as the 64 in the field.

TurtleWolf Pack you might want to check your information.

@@vilsiran nope its all good.

Do you keep your cartridges in a hand bag 🙂

@@MajorT0m No, do you?

Yes mate

We never lost our gun rights, guns are a privilege not a right. We can own anything we want, we just need a reason and to be of sound mind which seems to make sense? Our gun culture and historical relations with guns are just extremely different brother.

@@tgsoutdoors yes they are we are born with the rite to have them an I agree with mental health but we as a country push pills an if you look at school shootings we have they all have one thing in common they were all prescribed all pretty much same meds just look at them there baked

The question is can you afford to feed it?

350 Rigby needs a magnum action + it is obsolete now + 9mm bullets are very rare. 9,3x62 is more alive than ever and is also capable of being built in standard sizes actions (both for bolt action and auto loading hunting rifles) moreover there is a big variety of .366 bullets/9,3mm on the marked. So why do you think 350 Rigby is better? It is not true that 9,3x64 is in generell uncomfortable to shoot. This may be the case if you shoot it from a light Rifle but even then its recoil is less than the recoil of a .375 HH rifle shot from a rifle having the same weight as the 9,3x64 rifle. I used to have a Mauser 66 in 9,3x64 with a safari barrel which had even less recoil than a standard weight Mauser 98 in 9,3x62 with a standard weight barrel.

@@DerWaffennarr there is nothing wrong with a magnum 98 action ! Rigby had superb bullets for the 350 magnum and its penetration was excellent. The 9.3x 62 otto bock was the standard against which medium calibre rifles were measured. Many fine rounds have been discontinued not because they were better or worse but because big game hunting changed . Economy is a driving force. The 9.3x64 was a decent rifle and took advantage of its 338 calibre to improve sd. but then you might use a 338 lapua to better effect ! Although the 375 has a higher ME than the 300 win mag, it is a more comfortable rifle to shoot. I can only tell you what my gun smith in germany said about the X 64 . Indeed a split 9.3x 64 case is a problem specially in a Mauser 66. The conical case of the 375 easily extracts ( happened to me with eley kynoch). I have a Mauser 66 in 7x57 and it is accurate with its hair trigger (stecher), however it has a terrible normal trigger. Modern loads for the 375 have by far superseded the 9.3 s. The hornady 250gr the Norma 350gr the Brenneke TOG 270 gr the 270 double tap , are but a few of the newer loads which have left the x64 behind. Nobody buys a 9.3x 64 today for Africa !

Ok, the the 375 is the grandparent round to the 300 win mag? As it is the parent to the 8mm rem mag...

Do your research the 375 h&h is the parent case for the 300 win mag the 7mm rem mag & the 8mm rem mag the 375 h&h was developed 1st in 1912

Quite possibly - but outdated cartridges still rule the roost.
