Yes theres some misconception that it has
to be .375 H&H, when in fact one can
use 376 Steyr.

Even after .375 was stipulated as legal min.
by KGD., they still permitted experienced
residents to use their well proven 9,3x62

but on a funny note .375 officially became
a big bore when Winchester said so...

Yep, and I addressed that very cartridge in a recent blog on "mediums". I denied it was even a medium let alone a BIG BORE. BIG BORES commence for me at .40 caliber and 4000 ft-lbs (5400 joules).
