Default RE: Another "What Caliber" question...

GForce,
You'll like the 375HH, lots of power and reasonable recoil. As you noted it is the legal MINIMUM caliber for dangerous game in Africa. Works great in NA for big game also - kills with bullet weight instead of massive velocity the latter which can result in large sections of "blood shot" meat.

Just a word to the wise though, don't broadcast that you have one or that you are hunting with one in the lower 48 - it gets folks all stirred up for no explainable logical reason that I have found other than (1) you aren't properly following the masses, or (2) jealousy that you are apparently going to be moving on to bigger game in other places that most of them will never see.

Never Undergunned,
EKM

Good judgment comes from bad experience! Half of elk hunting is knowing what NOT to do!
