pretty sweet setup.
use those 235s and 270s for deer, who cares. That kick won't be too bad, wouldn't say any worse than a 300 win mag etc....
Recoil is determined by several factors: The weight of the gun; the weight of the bullet; and the weight of the powder charge. The .375 H&H Magnum with 300-grain bullets and a powder charge of 68 grains will produce nearly 1/3 more total foot-pounds of recoil than a .300 Win. Mag. of the same weight firing 180-grain bullets....... here I am speaking of free recoil. However, there may be considerable difference in felt recoil. The stock shapes may be different, and when firing a 180-grain bullet at + 3000 FPS, vs a .375 with a 300-grain bullet at a MV of only 2500, the .300's recoil is applied over a shorterperiod of time. It therefore may FEEL as bad as the .375 to some people. I never thought so, but some might....
What I DO know, is that neither is as bad as my .416 Rigby......... Actually, Ii ENJOY shooting the .375 H&H. It is a pretty nice cartridge!
