Yes. But the result would have been the same, had the varmint been struck with the same bullet at the same speed, regardless of the name or shape of the cartridge which launched it. Even the old, obsolete .375 H&H......
Of course it will I was just making an observation on a very dangerous animal killed quite humanely. The fact that the round is available in a normal action length and lighter rifle just makes it that much sweeter and adds some merit to the cartridge. If I owned a 375 don't think I would sell it to buy one but if a first time 375 buyer and hunted in Alaska I would seriously consider it.
I
don't want a rimless, beltless cartridge in my Africa gun. I want a big bullet, pushed by a big cartridge, which will feed in a dirty gun everytime,which I can be sure will go off when the primer hits it. The only way to ensure it goes off is by positive headspacing with a rim or belted magnum. The feeding comes from a large overly tapered case filled with mild to normal powder at normal pressures.
Don't understand how the h&H would be any different then the Ruger feeding into a "Dirty" gun. I would imagine the H&H operates at lower pressures and
that might be a plus where temperatures are 100+ over a very stoutly loaded cartridge like the Ruger. What problem is there with the rim on a ruger vs H&H vs 416 Remngton vs 458 win or whatever variant? How is one any better then the other?
