The Holland Super 30 is just cool! If we were all practical we'd dump and our other rifles including the magical 6.5 Creeds and just keep a 30 06 and a 22 Long Rifle. Maybe 1 12 gauge pump for those pesky birds.

I don't have an H&H but do have a 300 WSM which is ballistically the same thing. It seems to be a nicely balanced cartridge and was easy to get shooting well.

All the best from Ontario.

Hey Jim ..... It's been a while but am finally getting there with this project. Too many sidetracks along the way.

I had Duane Wiebe build me a .300 H&H because I had 6 boxes of factory ammo. I'm not a math guy but I'm pretty sure that was practical.

I think we have built rifles with less reason than this! Woodhits, a beautiful rifle by a great craftsman.

Woodhits, love the grain on that stock. What a gem you have there.

Ruger #1's in .300 H&H are fairly rare. Which of course is a reason to buy one, if I ever see one smile

Woodhits,

That's a beautiful rifle. Congratulations!

But then, any rifle Duane builds is beautiful!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll admit that I haven't taken it hunting yet but maybe we can get that done this Fall.

After seeing this, I just don't know how some of you live with those plastic and stainless rifles, especially in dull calibers.... smile

Practical or not, this thread inspired me to drag a pre-64 M70 and a Ruger No. 1 out of the safe and do some 300 H & H loading last night. H4831 has been my go-to, but RE 26 is about to get a run...

Hell Yes, if none other than to honor the cool old hunters and target shoot winners from the past that laid the conservation and hunting groundwork for EVERY damn one of us., my pre-64 300 fires 220 gr Partitions at an easy 2750 fps into ragged holes when it's wearing it's old Bausch&Lomb 2.5-10, not bad with the Lyman receiver peep too.

Were it legal to do so, I'd shot any game animal up to Ele and Rino with that combo.

I think everyone needs a 300 to go with their 375. This would be my pick for a classic combo for Africa. Might add the 400 or 45 version but they don't have the charisma of the originals.

Now I will dream about a pair of them by Duane until I win the Powerball.

From a pure practical standpoint, the 300WM is a far better choice ....

1. Far more rifles to choose from.
2. Far more factory ammo.
3. Brass is a lot less expensive than the cost for 300H&H.
4. Better selection of dies.
5. More gunsmiths can be found with a 300WM reamer.
6. The more modern case shape would be less prone to stretching than the H&H.
7. More velocity.


BUT .... The 300WM offers way less cool.

I have a 300 Win Mag and a 300 Weatherby. They aren’t as interesting as the H&H!

No, if that really matters.
