375 H & H is a cartridge. The caliber is .378, they are messing with you. Tom.
I thought the .375 H&H, used a .375 Dia. bullet?
So does the 378 Weatherby Mag. and the 375 Rem. Ultra Mag. They all shoot the same size bullet 0.375" ΓΈ however the 375 H&H Mag. is a cartridge...
Ok, next time I'm at the gun store, and I wanna look at a gun and the clerk says, which one? I'm gonna say, "I want the one in .270 cartridge.":D
You forgot Win. so it's a 270 Winchester or it could be 270 WSM and then it could be the 270 Weatherby Mag...

Sorry, my mistake, it is .375. I have never loaded for one. And yes Chantecler the correct term is cartridge. Caliber has been bastardized to describe a cartridge. First I would ask about a particular model of firearm, then I would ask if it was available in a particular cartridge. Trailer is correct in his description. Tom.

HEAD, while I was a little bit aggravated about this caliber/cartridge thing to begin with, I have thought it over, and you guys are correct, caliber describes the diameter of the bullet that is being fired in a particular cartridge.:D

BINGO, Tom.

And, therefore, using the word caliber to describe a cartridge is incorrect.:D
