Killed my biggest black bear with a Savage 99 in 375. One shot, not a quiver. Now carry a 18" carbine in a 99 and I love this thing. Killed deer and bear and good performance with the WInchester 200 grain load for me. Still waiting to try the Sierra 200 and Hornady 220 handloads I have on big game. Shoot the 220 Hornady's in a 1899 38-55 and they do very well shooting across the ravine at rocks, but no big game tests yet. Something about shooting a 375 reminds me of being a kid and shooting a 22 LR. I should mention I tend to stretch out my shooting way beyond the norm for what most people think works for a 375. Maybe that's what reminds me of the 22LR. Anyway, shooting one seems very intuitive to me.
