I just read through this entire thread and cannot really add much, except to say that my latest rifle just now being finished is a .375 H&H P-64 with a stubby bbl. built for packing in Grizzly country and I have a 9.3x62 being built on a FN action for a general purpose BC rifle.
I have sold off a WHACK of guns and doubt that I will buy any more, I now have 25 big game rifles plus five more specialized ones. They range from .264WM to .45-70, but the largest number of rifles in one chambering I own are .338WMs, five of the twelve I have owned during the past 40 years.
IF, gawd forbid, horrible thought, I HAD to choose ONE rifle/cartridge for all my hunting here in BC, it would be my favourite P-64-.338WM using 250 NPs, absolutely no question.
I just spoke with D'arcy Echols about one of his Legend stocks for this rifle and intend to put one on it in the coming spring; this is as close to perfection as I ever expect to get.
