Ruark was a fabulist. His job was to romanticize the African hunting experience. To tell tall tales about the indomitable beast of the dark continent that would haunt your dreams and nightmares. And he did a good job at that. What he did a bad job of was portraying himself as a skilled hunter...

Regarding temp changes, very staball ;) If you have a favorite 4350 load, you will get about 100 fps more mv. Hodgdon has load data for both cartridges.

Subsonic. Meat damage is similar to broadheads. I haven't tried it with a 375, but it works great with a 308. https://discreetballistics.com/shop/265gr-375-raptor-subsonic-projectiles-qty-100/

Try 6.5 staball of you have not already.

I thought deep curls were discontinued, like 20 year ago.

Several have talked about this, but another thing to consider is action length and length of pull. A h&h length action and short lop mean the end of the bolt might hit you in the face if you leave the rifle shouldered.

I built mine off a 7mm rem mag weatherby mark v. Any belted magnum length action will work. It is shorter than a 375 h&h. Krieger makes barrels. You can go to 1:10 twist if you want to try to shoot the cutting edge bullets. But 1:12 should work for any other 358 bullet. Raven rocks will...

The norma is different then other belted magnums as it uses the shoulder not the belt for headspace. This is due to the lack of body taper and generous free bore of the 358. Using the belt for headspacing and not the shoulder will cause excessive stretching of the brass at the case head...

They need to do this to revive the 338 federal.

It is from 375 brass. Redding sells a form and trim die. Run the bass through the die. Trim to length, fire form (primer with a little bit of powder than fill with cream of wheat and plug the end with a bit of paper towel), then full length resize. There are probably half a dozen ways it can...

It is all about personal preference. It does nothing any other cartridge won't. Components can be hard to find and bullet selection is limited. It is way bigger than necessary for normal sized animals and not legal for dangerous game. That said, I love 35 cal rilfes. The 358 norma has better...

Hi Paul, The archery example was ment to be an analogy and not any reference to how either bullets or arrows kill. Merely how lower velocity impacts result in deeper penetration. This is just my observations from 30 years of bow hunting. 20 yards: 50 yards: 125 gr field points roughly 400 gr...

Archery hunters see this practicing on foam targets. Arrows drive much further into the target at 50 yards than 20. Faster equals more friction and push back. Jump off a dock into water you will sink to the bottom. Jump off a really tall bridge you will go splat. Visual reference for...

Thanks for the details.
