[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 662233, member: 30671"] "It is a hard hitting-flat shooting cartridge, with which I have scored a higher percentage of one shot in-the-tracks kills on medium to large soft-skinned game than with any other cartridge" Jack O'Connor discussing the .375 H&H. I've never believed in "brush busting" cartridges. In some ways the 'swamp rifle" needs to be more not less accurate to miss intervening brush. I always come back to bolt actions with good scopes for hunting swamps and such. I'm a little more confident of recovery with more bullet, especially as angles get steep, and full view of the vitals is not always possible. Additionally my .375 is the best offhand rifle I've owned. A bit heavy these days as upper body strength has faded some. No disrespect intended, and no implication other choices are not adequate, just keeping the conversation going. [/QUOTE]
