Age ain't all bad. Just think of all those good memories you have racked up over the years. I am 52 and don't yearn to be younger, mostly because of how stupid I was. The older I get, the stupider I was. It would be nice to have the health and condition back though.
Poobah, what the heck am I gonna do with a 375? I raised 4 kids on one income. I'm too freekin' lazy to make myself rich. Africa is only a dream. Actually, I just wanna kill one elk before it's over, and maybe a moose. They don't have to be trophies, and I DON'T want somebody holding my hand when I do it, except maybe my best friend (my wife).

I just finished re-reading this excellent article. It is amazing that Holland and Holland got it SO right 100 years ago; after all, they did not have computers nor the internet to tap into the wisdom of all the internet posters! I guess they just got lucky!

Arguably THE best all arounder out there, BUT it needs good bullets to withstand the velocities, something that it failed to do when it first came out,Hornadys were certainly not up to the task and Partitions only Just. The TTSX was MADE for this caliber. That said, I have TWO 375s jorge ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lavikinga.com/jorge/hunt3.jpg)

JB's .375 load data sure produces some great results from the .375 H&H. Tight groups at the range, and a dead bear afield for me with his 260 gr Nosler/Reloader 15 load.

I always think of the 375H&H as just an overgrown 30-06. It's only as useful as a 30-06 is. The animals it's as useful for, just average a wee bit bigger.

A Number One in .375 is a fine rifle to wring out!

You pukes are doing it to me again. Just when I thought I was over my 375 infatuation. Dang it, I don't need a freekin 375?! Please make the voices stop...  How about a couple more .375 pics to fuel the fire...?  ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/032_32-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/031_31-1.jpg) Theres more where those came from....  you NEED a .375... Amazing how the guy in the pictures grows hair as the photos progress. I would think he'd need to keep them coming until he has a full head...  DF

You still got that swiss cheese #3 action?  I still got a barrel and I'm thinkin' I might be willing to live with a couple extra holes to get a rifle put together.

Picked up the latest issue the other nite in Wallyworld and read JB's 375 article also, ever since JB started writing for Wolf again those Wally turds quit discounting the magazine.But I allways get my money's worth anyway. Ingwe, Vari X 3 1.5 x 5 ? same as on my Whitworth? Still have a small supply of the 235gr Speers and kinda enjoy shooting them. Magnum Man

I also just read JB's article on the .375 and I realize I HAVE IT ALL. In long guns I have a .22 LR ( Ruger ), A .30-06 ( Win. M54) A .375 H&H ( Sako with 18" bbl. ) and a 12 guage Fox double. Just gotta figger out what all those other guns are doing in my safe.

No hunting rifleman should be without a 375H&H... You got that right, add a .270 and he's got the Dream Team. He's only to worry about time to build the arks that he's going to fill.... Now just watch some dusty/crusty old dude will come along and say something about the 7X... Dober
