I read that a .375H&H will cause less meat damage on a whitetail than a .270win will, and I suspect less than a .300win.mag would as well.
I have read some elk articles with mention of people using them with 270gr bullets, or even lighter bullets nowadays like 250 or 260gr etc...
Once a guy has a .223, .270, .300win.mag, sounds like a logical next step up as well...
Yeah I could see that with the fantasy. Though the costs are so high most folks just can't afford it.
I need to check a reloading manual. Just don't see how that much lead would cause less meat damage. Any chance you have any articles/forum discussion etc.. that talk about this.
Your post prompted my post, but not for any reason but to learn. I've seen 375 H&H rifles listed for sale and they seem to go fast. Recently on longrangehunting they had a Winchester and it went in a few days.
