Having shot a lot of different calibers a lot, I am in the camp with JJ that NOTHING feeds like a 300 H &H in a nice slick action (like a pre-64) THey still feed, but often with a hitch or a hiccup.

The ONLY reason Ruger would do this is that they don't make a magnum (H&H) length action. If they want to sell bigger rifles- they had to make a round that would work. THis doesn't mean it's bad, just that it's probably silly at this point.

If you want a lightweight elk rifle that will work with heavy bullets for whatever reason, I guess this is your baby.

As for me, my next rifle will be a 375 Holland- although I really do like JBs 9.3 BS. it was a true SHORT action with nearly the stuff of the H&H, It fed fine, but not like my H&Hs.
