Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa 300HH stateside?

Are any of the major manufacturers in the US going to load 300HH again? It's been MIA online for months now and way more obscure stuff is available. What's the deal?

I hope you see some soon...as long as they load some properly headstamped 275 Rigby first.

And they need to load some more 405 Win while they're at it.

300 H&H rifles were never made for left-handed shooters. I would have to go through a lot of extra effort to acquire a rifle that no one makes ammunition for. So why do I want one anyway?

2016-17 were good years for the ouch&ouch

I also set myself up well with H4831 and the .308/180 Sierra prohunter

Bought a thousand primers when I got the rifle, and will not use them in my time...

I hope so. I bought 500 cases 25 years ago and will have enough to pass to my kids. Not enough people know the benefits of the 300 H&H wanting modern designs instead.

We have more 300 H&H brass on order, but ETAs are really hard to nail down. When we had it last time it sold out in a matter of days.

Getting some more interesting stuff in probably the beginning of the year timeframe.

I saw you had it listed. Norma I believe. Sometimes I think of buying these historic cases to keep the manufacturers making them. I hope I don't have retire the rifle (or my kids don't) since it is a pre64 and shoots great.

The good news -- and the bad news -- is that I don't have an HH yet. But I've always wanted one. The snag being I already reload for multiple rounds and because this wouldn't get shot a ton, was hoping to go the easy route with factory stuff. Alas...

I listed some new 300 H&H Brass on here a while back. It is out of my "stash" and people were looking for it but at 1984 prices so I just put it back away.

Odonata, I have TONS of 405 WCF in original boxes but I have no way of shipping ammo anymore with the recent changes in UPS and FEDEX.

HSM loads it.

The H & H is one of my favorites. My current one is a number 1.

But their website can't direct you to anyone selling it!

Just call them 406 777 2106 . I did (like 3 minutes ago) and they do sell direct. Jamie will set you up to buy direct, it's basically an age verification form. She did say that they didn't have any 300H&H brass right now and were waiting on it.
They do not charge until the ammo is shipped.

Would you be interested in a nice 721 ?

One of my fellow gun heads up north has two NIB Remington 700 Classics in 300 H&H, I have lost track of how many guys have approached him and wanted to buy one of them.

Benefits?

Compared to what?

Had a Colt Coltsman for many years, it shot factory Winchester 180gr Failsafe's amazing...traded it for a Ruger 1B in 257 Roberts

My early 1950s Winchester M- 70 Super Grade has a G&H side mount alternatively rigged with both a Lyman 2.5 and Leupold 4X Alaskans. With either Swift A Frame or Nosler 180 Partitions-nothing
in Alaska or the lower 48 is safe. The 300 H&H cartridge feeds like iced butter and gives up nothing, handloaded, to the other 300 magnum cartridges.
It worked for a century in Africa carried by some of the best PH guides like Blixen and Finch-Hatton along with many others.

Nostalgia aside, it feeds and extracts like a sumbitch.

Kinda like a .300 Win, or WBY? It was designed when the Brits loaded cordite. Cordite was known for temp sensitivity and for pressure spikes.

My Model 700 .300 Win feeds and extracts every bit as well as my pre-war Model 70 H&H. They are both flawless. But they are both fed exclusively a smokeless powder diet.

The smell of cordite in the morning? I'd as soon step in catshit.

That said, my "other" Magnum Winchester Model 70 is a 338, made slightly later in the 50s. And if pushed into an alder patch, "another" pre-64
Model 70 with the original 24 in iron-sighted barrel in 338-06.
I have heard that there are rifles other than early pre-war and pre-63 Model 70s and custom Mausers.
After diligent search, have not found any others in my bunkers. The Weatherbys do have a very strong action.
