Hello all. Beautiful site and hunting community. Looking forward to the fellowship.

Welcome to AH! This is a great community. Quite the collection of calibers you mention in the title. Care to share any hunting experience with them or any other fun facts?

I’ve never shot any of them. Biggest I’ve gone is 375HH.

Hello Fenstar welcome to AH, that 300H&H is special.

 

[Fenstar]

The .500J and .404J are bothe beautiful rifles done by Wayne Jacobson, AHR. The .450NE is a Heym double. My (2) .300HH rifles and a .257Roberts are all pre-‘64 rigs, and a handful of .375’s and .458 Lotts are all Lon Paul works of art. As a farm kid, all we did was work, family/church or hunt. Blessed life for sure. Very thankful.

Very nice assortment!

Tucson, sounds like you are from AZ- fun fact.. late great gun writer and handloading guru, G. Sitton used to drive up from Tucson to our family’s dairy farm, in Phoenix area, to shoot doves. I was fortunate enough to have G teach me how to handload. For me, the reloading and the science behind our functional works of art (our guns) is my favorite part of the hunting journey. Africa, it’s deep history, the calibers that help write the bush story.. never gets old. This site is really a classy salute to Africa!

There have been various threads on the this superb old cartridge that have bridged the divide between the dawn of rimless bolt rifle cartridges and the very modern continuity with upgraded capabilities with newer bullets and powders that allows it to perform at a greatly enhanced level compared...
