[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2737967, member: 118816"] Well I think that your selection of caliber is pretty good as long as you hand load. Not much ammo out there on the shelves for the 375 H&H these days and the prices are between $100 and $150 a box. Makes any practice somewhat impractical from a pocket book standpoint. Anyway that notwithstanding my thoughts would be more towards a 22 or 24 inch barrel with a brake. Get all that you can as far as velocity and energy instead of spewing it out the end of the barrel as useless powder burning in the air as well as muzzle flash. I don't personally know the ballistics of the 375 H&H but other magnums, specifically the 300 Win Mag and 7MM Rem Mag both perform better with longer barrels. My 300 WM had a 26 inch barrel along with a brake and it performed quite well. Even at 26 inches there was unburned powder causing a minor muzzle flash. [/QUOTE]
