back to Africa
Although I don't have a good reason I also choose a 375 H&H over other calibers, even here in the states. I have many other rifles, but, my old Ruger #1 is quite accurate and easy on my shoulder and years of practice (I'm on the third barrel) has taught me to reload quickly and efficienctly.
Ammo is everywhere, recoil is not bad at all and fairly priced, as if that matters, I reload all of my ammo, but, if it got lost it would be nice to have some available and I do love my 416 Rigby, ammo can be hard to find and probably expensive.
With 235 grain Barnes "X" bullets over H-414 this is one fine deer, elk, moose rifle and has held its own against the likes of a good size brown bear using 270 grain "X"s.
For Tanzania (I go there because I own a business there) I will load the 300 grain Barnes "X" bullets and be happy as a clam. I carry two rounds loaded with Barnes 300 grain solids in my off hand just in case things get hairy.
Good hunting, let's keep Africa a happy place to go.
