[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2339062, member: 87371"] I lived and worked in Dar es Salaam for the years starting in 1970. Great hunting, but all before the days of Barnes Bullets or Cheytac rifles. Had a pre-64 Model 70 in .375 H&H, with which I took several Cape buffalo, two elephants and lots of plains game. I considered it the best caliber I ever carried, even compared to my.450 double rifle, which I didn’t use very often. The double was heavier, but recoil on both was about the same, and totally tolerable. The.375 H&H was just such a good caliber I just didn’t need more. I probably would even have used it on elk at 1000 yards, but I did not hunt elk at any range in those days. I have rung steel with it at800 yards, and that was a12” gong. It is a super cartridge. Just my $.02. [/QUOTE]
