New to the forums so I wanted to post a pic of my new Big Bore. Winchester 70 safari express in 375. Has a 3-x40 Zeiss conquest. Currently playing with 260 accubonds and reloader 15.

The only thing I plan to change is moving to talley steel bases/rings.

Congrat's, I don't think that you''ll be disappointed. Unless of course you find yourself using one rifle exclusively hereafter! memtb

Nice rifle, I like mine a lot.

I just bought the same rifle in .416 Rem Mag. I used to have one just like this one, and I absolutely loved the quality of the rifle. I killed two buffalo and one elephant with mine, and I could not have been more pleased with how the rifle performed.

Are you planning on hunting with it? If so, what game will you be hunting?

Congrat's! Great caliber. I only shoot 300's in mine, but Re15 is the go to powder for it. Terry

Very nice rifle. You should be very happy with it!

I have owned 3 different 375 H&H rifles going back to 1987 and they were all very versatile and very easy to find good loads for.

I used a half-dozen different powders from IMR 4895 with 235gr to IMR 4350 and WW760 with the 300gr.

Don't know that in 1,500 rounds of ammo I ever put together a load that was a loser. Some better than others, of course!

Enjoy!

I took mine (the original one) one a bear hunt one time, but I never got a chance to use it. To be honest, it was a little heavy for use as a mountain rifle, but it is reassuring to know you have that much firepower.

It should be devastating as a long-range elk rifle.

Good Hunting,

BH
