he has already shot a 375 rum with a brake on it and he never complained about it so i guess it got tamed with the brake on it . the owner of the gun kinda got him thinking of getting one over the H&H but i had no idea of the downsides. I will have to check on the accurate reloader site for some opinions from those who hunt africa with this caliber . thanks for the info im gonna foward this to my brother.
