Designed for killing African lions, used mainly for the purpose of protecting livestock from them. But would be a great American big game round, too.


Not totally accurate. Bock created the round specifically for German colonial farmers as an all round rifle which could work in a mauser. It was expected to handle all classes of game. It was by all accounts the most successful bolt action in history on the African continent. It was only because the mauserwerke factory was destroyed by Allied forces in WW II that the 375 took the mantel of the Africa all purpose round.

Inside 300 yards I concur with an earlier poster that it's all that. And a.bag of.chips.


The way life should be.
