My favorites: 270 Weatherby, 340 Weatherby, 375H&H.

I like RWS brass if you can find it!!! It's my favorite in 375 H&H. Otherwise Peterson and Norma. JM

Have used a Browning Superposed 12ga, 3inch mag with F/F chokes. I usually get a bird if they like my calling. JM

Raffles, what a hotel!! JM

About a half century ago at the bar in the O-Club at the ANZUK base in Singapore the standard T&T used a haif a lime squeezed in the glass. If you wanted a "double" you got the whole lime. Delicious!!!! JM

Try Huntingtons Die Specialties. They have bags of 100 375 H&H for only a few bucks over$100.00. I bought RWS cases from them in the past. IMHO, RWS brass is the best made. I don't know what these cases are. Ask about them and good luck. JM

You really mean, not even "goodnuf". JM

matchu865, get some Renaissance wax. It's a British product used by the British Museum to protect everything from marble statues to metallic pieces and has worked very well on my French walnut stocked 375 H&H on both the wood and metal. FWIW. JM

Lots on "gunsinternational", all price ranges. JM

I failed to mention the plaster vibratory trick. JM

I've loaded many cartridges with compressed loads and have not had any issues. Most recent used was a 270 Roy shooting a 140 gr Failsafe on top of 79 gr of ReL 25, Fed gm 215 primers @ 3300 fps. It tipped over a B&C 179 1/8 Rocky Mtn Ram. Priceless. JM

I've had Magnsportind done on two 340 Roy's. I don't have any recoil issues but wanted to stop muzzle rise and the Magnaporting works great with little increase in perceived noise. FWIW. JM

+1 JM

Weatherby, of course. JM

I'd think about a 270 Roy with a 1 in 8 inch twist for the longer monometal bullets coming online. JM
