[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1215417, member: 10291"] I agree the 300 is superior on game for LR work in N.America.....excluding big bears at close range. I used my Whitwoth 375 H&H Mauser on a few safaris about 30 years ago on everything from Impala to Cape buffalo. It is very reliable, superbly accurate, and has a trajectory comparable to a 30-06 using 180gr conventional bullets. Using 270gr Winchester Power Points, it performed well on all thin skinned game, my longest shot on a Kudu at 300 yards which was as long a shot one was likely to get in the area I was hunting. While I used the 375 with both solids and SP's on Cape Bullalo, it is a compromise caliber in my opinion. Overkill for thin skinned game, and too light for dangerous game. I very much preferred my H&H 450 Double for dangerous game in close quarters. [/QUOTE]
