Big guns

I've put a "lot" of time in on the trigger of the .375 H&H... it's a fantastic cartridge out of near any boom-stick, in my mind, it's the .30 06... of the hard-hitters in the game camps, just plain versatile!

I agree 100% it will do just about anything
Good to hear from you
Maybe we you start a 375 club lol
 
Yes my sons dont hunt even though I taught them gun safety and had them shoot on a range but they both love to fish although I cant get them into fly fishing They live in Ontario and I am in Alberta retired Maybe its time to go back lol

No no don't go to Ontario stay in Gods country.
If any we may have to Montana or Texas if they come for your guns.
Lol
Take care Martin Hinton

You as well.

Well, we might have to call it the Elmer Keith school of thought... I think anyone that spends a little time on the .375 H&H finds that it's habit-forming and addictive as a hunting cartridge. Cheers.
 
Great idea lol

If we are talking about Elmer , I have 2 bible's the first one is the holy one the second are every magazine article Elmer ever wrote including all of his books .
I have most of them.
All the stuff he ever wrote applies today.
From reticals to heavy bullets for long range and bigger calibers for killing power,along the line of Taylor's theory.
For his insight on the old Sharps rifles to his contribution to the awsome 44 mag. and the S&W M29 the handgun of all handguns.
Needless to say he is my mentor and hero.
Accordingly to his philosophy when coming to Canada in 81 the only sensibly cal would be 33 and up to which I concurred.
My rifles where all just that until recently, I have to confess I did put a brake on my 338 RUM as well as my 500AS .
I have many calibers in between, but I love my 308 ,6.5CR and my 223 as shooters because they don't give me a headache after 10 rnds.
I guess things change a bit when one is a few months from 70
Take care Martin

Good read, i am about to turn 74 in 2 days so I know what you mean lol
 
I agree with the above statement.I as a hunter...more than a shooter I do love a 33 and up. They do require more time to practice to shoot consistently, but do find them all around better killers than small calibers...not saying I don't like 22, 6mm. If I were to load up and go somewhere and shoot something...and had to do "it" all with one rifle--a .338 would be hard to beat. Yeah I liked to read Keith too.
 
I bought my first big game rifle in 1988, a savage 110 .270 win., still one of my favorite rifle/cartridges. I have acquired a few more rifles between then and now. All so in '88 Remington offered the 35 Whelen as a standard cartridge. I became infatuated with it, I finally got my hands on one and now have 3. This year I got a .400 Whelen an a .338 Win. Mag. Like I said the .270 is one of my favorites but the 35 Whelen is becoming my top favorite and I'm loving the .400 too. I think the .338 going to be a lot of fun as well. I'm all so on the look out for some book of Elmer Keith's and Col. Whelen's.

His books are expensive unfortunately
