[QUOTE="300hnh, post: 633475, member: 45395"] Sorry to be about a year late with this posting - I just found the thread and this forum in a Google search. I love the 300 H&H for a lot of the reasons listed in this thread. Recoil is more than the 30-06 - but not as unreasonal as the newer and bigger 300 magnums. As someone stated it is a push in the shoulder not a jolt. One artical I read on the 300 H&H said that since it had the larger cast capacity you could load 200 gran bullets for use in applications where you would normally use a 180 grain bullet, and still get a fairly flat trajectory. Where I really like the 300 H&H is with 165 grain bullets. It shoots them very flat and with the kind of authority that brings drop dead results at 200 to 300 yards - again without pounding your shoulder like its bigger off-spring. This past hunting season (October 2011) I finished off a mule deer doe my son had shot. It had run across an open wheat field and stood there at 185 yards watching us. I knelt down took a few breaths and held steady. The H&H with the 165 grain Barnes Tripple Shock did the rest. The doe crumpled and fell in her tracks. I will look up some load data and post that later. Have fun with your Holland & Holland! [/QUOTE]
