Further concerns on use if a .375 H&H for anything at all...readers be warned

The .375 H&H is considering changing its name to:

.375 H&H..?
 
Well, Harry Selby had great respect for the cartridge and am I sure he is getting a good laugh at all the back and forth talk!!!

Yup. All hail the KING of rifles.
 
Didn’t this get tried with the 375RUM? I think Hornady has a hard enough time making enough 375RUGER to worry about another one.


The 7mm PRC and 300 PRC use the 375 Ruger for a parent cartridge. So in essence, the 375 Ruger is also the 375 PRC. Whatever we call it, it’s still superior to the antiquated 375 H&H.
 
It’s even been called a rat caliber.

The 375RUGER is marginally superior in every category to the 375H&H with the exception of availability.

Quite simply, the H&H has been around and extremely effective over the past 114 years. This means more rifles chambered for the H&H and more ammo available. The Ruger cartridge isn't even 20 years old yet, so you can't expect to find ammo in every remote camp (or store) from Alaska to Africa. However, I will admit that it's getting better for the Ruger cartridge.

If you consider the ballistic advantage, the non-belted case design and shorter cartridge a reason to get a 375RUGER, by all means you should. But that doesn't mean the 375H&H is going anywhere soon. After all, the antiquated 30-06 and 308WIN seem to co-exist quite nicely and both remain relevant.

And yes, I see your screen name. You made a wise decision choosing that over "416 Ruger Fan".:D Beers:

I would likely give one last chance to 375 H&H under condition to change its name to 375 Creedmoor.
And thats it.

Otherwise, Amen!

Hi all,

Given the plethora of posts about the effectiveness of the .375 H&H for use on both PG and DG, I felt compelled to share the following as I too feel that this 113 year old cartridge responsible for so many successful and ethical hunts in the past is now painfully obsolete.

1. The .375 H&H will not fit in a current AR platform. Everyone knows if you can't shoot it in an AR it must be rubbish.
2. If we would have changed the name to .375 Creedmoor the capabilities would have increased ten fold as common knowledge is the Creedmoor is some ancient language translated from Exceptional Mythical Capability.
3. The .375 H&H was recently observed eating kale and paying dues to PETA.
4. The .375 H&H never calls its mother. Not once. Not even on her birthday.
5. As a squirrel gun, I have personally witnessed the .375 H&H miss so terribly and laughably that the squirrel had time to run away and leave a dismissive pile of droppings in the time that the bullet left the rifle and when it arrived on target. A real round would clearly be moving in excess of 3200 fps.
6. The nearly pleasant recoil clearly denotes weakness and a lack of spine. This sad round would never win a debate on the superiority of capitalism and would quickly cede its ground on the importance of state ownership of the means of production.
7. I once went into a coffee shop in a foreign country and saw a .375H&H on the menu. I ordered one and was served a soy latte with extra foam and sprinkles.
8. The .375H&H doesn't like dogs.

I feel these eight points make clear that the only round appropriate for shooting anything anywhere should be unpleasant to shoot, unavailable in a reasonable number of rifle models, have no access to ammo anywhere in the world, and should have been invented at last year's SHOT show. I invite you all to share your concerns about this round so that we may all be protected from its siren song.
You forgot one:

9. The .375 H&H will never be called the ".375 Man-Bun." Very sad.
