In the 375 H&H, 300gr. bullet between 2200fps to 2300 fps would be idea.

The rifle is to light. Clients complained bitterly of the recoil. Kevin loaded it down, low and behold it killed better. A 400gr. to 500gr. at 2200 to 2400fps.

Have gunsmith cut it to your liking. 21 inch is perfect for heavy brush, jungle.

375 Weatherby is excellent. I can shoot 375 H+H which is found world wide. Legal in all countries.

21 inch barrel

Had a whole box of Rem 375 H&H primers blow. Excessive gas through the 3 gas ports of the Weatherby Mark 5 bolt.

It doesn't matter. Velocity loss is irrelevant. It needs to be slowed down. Educate yourself on fluid dynamics. A 500gr. Bullet of proper construction placed perfectly on the animal will kill better at lower velocity. Dr. Kevin Robinson's clients complained bitterly on the recoil so he loaded...

The 375 H&H should have a 21 inch barrel. Fast to get into action in heavy brush in case of following a wounded Grizzly or Cape Buffalo.Velocity loss is of no concern. Dr. Robinson (doctari) clients complained bitterly of the recoil in the lightweight Browning A-Bolt 375 H&H so he loaded it...

Absolutely perfect

I might put a Trijicon Red Dot on it.

21"not over 22". Jungle carbine. Going in the Alaska bush after a wounded Brown Bear, you need something short to get into action fast at point blank range. Same with following a wounded Cape Buffalo in heavy bush. Seen a 460 with 20" barrel. It barked, bellowed and roared. The muzzle blast was...

Because they are cool classic style cartridges, not the boring every day stuff. Don't care what bullet diameter they use. I handload. Don't care if the reloading dies are 3 times as much, or the bullets.

Very well said. Just like fishing lures are designed to catch fisherman not fish. Best colors black, brown, purple, chartreuse in that order.

Btw, chronograph velocity out of a 24 inch barrel is 3150fps. A 100 fps less than the 26inch barrel. The game won't know the difference, but l noticed the weight of the heavier barrel. I don't own a 26" barrel on a Weatherby.

The Mark 5 action is massive and heavy. He had to put thin barrels on them to keep them with in the standard weight of 7 1/2 to 3/4 lb's. He wanted an action big enough, strong enough to chamber the 460 Weatherby Magnum.
