Nice pic!

I'm digging that coat! Who makes it?
 
Thanks!

The coat is Beretta - I've had it for about 10 years, and I don't know if they still make it.

The rifle is a 1925 H&H single shot.
 
What is the H&H chambered in Tom?
 
It's a .375 H&H Magnum Flanged (rimmed). I load it with 68 gr of Alliant RL-15 under a 270 gr Speer BTSP.
 
Sweet Tom!

I have used the 235gr Speer in my 375 belted (Ruger No1...not an H&H!) with 65gr IMR 4895. Effective without the dreaded high velocity mess!

I like the way you roll!

2,450 from a 22 inch barrel and 2,500 from a 24 inch.

Good load for woods shooting, which is mostly what I've done here in the states (including in your neck of the woods, when I lived in VA).
 
I think a guy could load that 235 all the way down to 2,200 or so (with a faster burning powder though) and take deer cleanly in the woods.

Hawk makes some nice .375 bullets with .025" thick jackets that would work great on deer too!
