Like any other rifle/cartridge that can't be found at Wal-Mart, it serves as an excellent jackwagon detector. It works like this: when talking with someone about rifles, mention you own a 300 H&H. If they say "Oh cool! How do you like it?", They're probably an ok sort. The ones that ask why you'd bother to own something so obsolete are jackwagons. Say "Good day." and leave.
