For years I loaded for, shot, and hunted the 300, and 338 magnums. I went through that phase of climbing the ladder of and bigger and bigger cases because I was curious; the then non-existent internet, personal two-way exchange was a one-way dispensing of info and hype in the hard copy magazines which trumpeted this magnum or that one. Or reviewed an old one.
By the time I got to the 375 after maybe two decades of the fast-punching 300’s and a long time with the 340, the 375 was like a heavyweight fighter on a muscle relaxant and a sedative — a kind of a rolling punch instead of the quick jab of the faster magnums that would leave an apple-sized bruise after an afternoon of shooting. Very nice; almost soothing.
Yeah, will always like the H&H. The laws of physics coming together with a fine compromise of case size, bullet mass, velocity, and power all within the capabilities of a hunter and shooter to master.
