When my grandfather got to where he wasn't as mobile but still wanted to hunt he decided he wanted a gun that would quickly anchor a deer, he didn't want to nor had the ability too chase an animal down. He bought a 375 H&H. That rifle went to my father when gramps passed on. Dad hunted deer with it, mostly because it was the only rifle he had. It latter was sold to my uncle when dad found himself with a work related disability. My uncle hunted with it as did other family members. The rifle became very well liked with those who used it, not because it was easy to carry but because it was a solid performer. I re-aquired the rifle last year and am looking forward to taking it afield. The rifle is a classic, a pre 64 Winchester M 70.
Back to the origial question, does it have any advantage over other cartidges? Well yes it does. As already mentioned amunition is availible world wide. It can and has taken every animal on the earth. On whitetail deer it is capable of fully penatrating a deer from any angle. Accurate. Flat shooting. Versitile.
The 375 is trully one caliber that can do it all.
