Then, if your theory is correct, the 375 Winchester should perform just as well on big game, every time, as the 375 H&H........
Is that what I'm hearing? If the answer is "NO", then what's the real difference between those two cartridges?
It's either one way or the other, now which is it?
Let me ask you something else:
Just how much big game hunting have you actually done?
I have the feeling that we're dealing with a real pilgrim...............

Allen, would you rather have a 30-378 with a 180 grain at 3400 fps and a muzzle energy of 4621fpe or a 50 Alaskan wih a 525 grain at 1800 fps and a muzzle energy of 3778 fpe to face a charging buffalo even though the 30 cal has 843 foot pounds more energy I beleve that I would prefer the 50 from what I have experienced in the field and thier inlies the problem with foot pounds of energy as it is commonly used to rate effectiveness
Another example, which would say would be a better Deer cartridge a 22-250 with a 55 grain bullet or a 44 mag with a 240 grain bullet the 22-250 has 1627 FPE with a velocity of 3650 FPS,yet the 44 would only have 938 FPE with a muzzle velocity of 1300 FPS.I think that most would choose the 44
