[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1487649, member: 27307"] We have all discussed this concept on a few occasions. Many of us can be side tracked by the ballistic advantages of several of the modern medium bore large capacity cartridges, myself included. But as we often discover, a substantial number of the hunting situations occur at distances much nearer than anticipated so using one of the older, classic cartridges can be a terrific idea. Two points already made but repeated: Out to about 400 yards, either the .300 or the .375 H&H can be employed to hunt anything up to moose given proper bullet/powder selection. Both the .300 and the .375 H&H yield a push rather rather than the sharper jab of the newer high power cartridges. Shooting both types back-to-back is an 'ah-ha' experience, because of the difference. The last thought is regarding shorter than average barrels. The .375 H&H can and has been barreled to as short as 20", while still yielding enough velocity for a good level of energy. I have developed both the rifle and the loads around the 260 grain Partition over either IMR-3031 or VVN-540 to maintain efficient burning without wasting powder in this short barrel. [/QUOTE]
