I've work a bit with the now discontinued IMR 4451 in the 375 H&H I tried one load of 74 grains with the 270 TSX seated at 3.600" and it gave me 1,2" for three shot. Hodgdon lists his Max at 74,7 grains. With a 300 grains I vould start somewhere around 72,5 grains (this is my best load with...

I shot my biggest moose with a 270 Winchester and 150 Grand Slam bullets. He was dead within 50 yards. The one in my avatar was shot with the same receipe. Dead within a few steps. I've also shot moose with .50 caliber ML, 30-06, 300WM and 3 with the .338WM. All good moose killers. In a month...

I own both. My 338WM is a Ruger 77 MKII and my 375 is a BRNO ZKK 602. They are what I call "dream rifle". When I have the Ruger in hands, I just start dreaming about grizzly bears. When I have my 375 in hands, I start dreaming about Cape Buffalo.

I tried a 3 shots groups with the Barnes 270 grains TSX. These bullets never disapoint! 74 grains of IMR 4451 and a Rem 91/2 primer gave a 1,2" group. No doubt it can do better with a bit of development. The TSX is a great bullet that makes any PH smile. The good old discontinued Hornady 300...

I really enjoyed reading your review!!! Congrats!!!

I really enjoyed reading your report. Thanks a bunch for it. Cheers!

Congrats!!! I bet this rifle is now a keeper? ;)

At 300 yards, if both loads are sighted in at 200, the 2388 fps load will land at -12,26 inches, and the 2641 fps load will land at -9,7 inches. There's less than 3/4 of an inch difference in trajectory at 100 yards. That's 2,56 inches of difference at 300. Less than MOA. If that can give...

The 2388 fps load will probably penetrate a bit deeper than the 2641 fps loads. Faster bullets loose energy faster because they open more rapidly. With the same shot placement, the buffalo will die from both load. Go with the load you have the most confidence in it. It's not the foot pounds...

A 375 with the right bullet is perfectly capable of taking anything on earth, as is a 416 I think the 375 is a bit more versatile and user friendly. Proper bullet and shot placement is the key. :)

Great report! I enjoyed reading it. It's a really nice .375 H&H you have. :)

Absolutely nothing. I would hunt with any if theses loads anytime. I was just reporting my results. :)

Did you load your TSX with H4895? I loaded 270 grains TSX with that powder last year for my hunt. 69,5 grains was shooting sub MOA from my ex-Win Model 70 Safari Express .375 H&H.

I did some tests with the BRNO. So far: 72,5 grains of IMR 4451 with a 300 grains Sierra BTSP shoots in 1,6" 72,5 grains of IMR 4451 with a 300 grains Hornady Round Nose gave me a .9" group 72,5 grains of IMR 4350 with a 300 grains Hornady BTSP gave me a 1,3" group Rifle is finicky. She...

Congrats on your hunt. I enjoyed reading your report. I went in africa last year, I hope I'll get back there one day. I'm working on it. We only live once.

Last year my PH told me that, from experience, he estimated that 95% of the buffalo you see in pictures along with strings and sharped stick have some lead in them. Your's makes no exception, except it's for good reason. Congrats on your 2 perfect shots!

First try this morning with my BRNO ZKK602 375 H&H. It's a really beautiful rifle you can see on another post. I've read that most CZ/BRNO rifles shoot at their best with amunitions on the low velocity spectrum. Mine seems not to be an exception since best group of the morning was with 72,5...

When I shoot the first one, my PH said: This is by far the best Impala I've seen in this area. When I shot the second he said: This is the best Impala I've seen in the area. I said: Hey, you said the same thing on the first one. He put both skulls side by side. Almost exact copy. I'm proud...

I hunted buffalo last summer. My first dream was to hunt the "wild" Africa. After looking at various opportunity, I realised I just did not have the money for a hunt in Zambia, for example. So I made a 180 and turn back my view to SA. I went with Ken Moody Safaris in SA. I did shot a buffalo. A...

Some airline will allow the ammos in the same case as the rifle, some won't but will allow them in a locked container in your luggage, some will need them to be in a box and considered as a separate luggage. I went in Africa with 50 rounds and gave the remaining to my PH. He was happy and It...

It has probably been said but every airline company have it's own restrictions. Look at them carefully and advise every airline company at least a monthe prior departure that's you'll carry a rifle and amunitions. Transit throught Frankfurt is ok but you'll need a transit permit. Avoid like the...

I did not read the entire thread but will do it. Here's my story. I hunted buffalo one time in my life. The shot I got on an already pissed buffalo (he came from nowhere broking fences) was frontal at something like 90 yards. I was shooting a 375HH with handloaded Barnes 270 grains TSX. The...

I took it appart yesterday. The rifle is pretty well bedded all the wy to the second recoil lug. Jowever, I found no name on it.

Here's a closer look of the pistol grip skeleton cap. The screws are indexed.

And believe it or not, it was one sale for more than 3 months...

And wood to metal fit is perfect. Next step is taking it apart to have a look at the bedding. Got it for about the price of a new Model 70 Safari Express.

On my first trip in Africa I did all my hunting with Barnes 270 Grains TSX loaded over 69,5 grains of H4895. Great penetration on Cape Buffalo, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, and of course, Impalas..

Since my first trip in Africa, there's not a single day I don't think about going back. One of the steps is rifle and loads development. While surfing on a Canadian Gun Nutz Website, this rifle caught my attention. A BRNO ZKK602 375 H&H sitting in a beautiful stock. So I sold my Winchester...

There's not a single day I don't think about going back to hunt Africa. Here are my "souvenirs" about ready to be shipped.. :)))

If I was limited to three rifles, it would be a 270 Winchester, a 338 Winchester Magnum, and a 375 H&H.

While at the airport in JNB, I met an old men who was at his 40+ trip to Africa. Being a gun nutz, I did not resist to get up and took an eye on what he had in his gun case. Rifle was an well used Remington 700 BDL topped with an plain and simple Leupold 3-9X40. I asked him wich caliber. He...

When I first met my PH las june, he asked what I bring fot Cape Buffalo and PG. I said: 375 H&H loaded with Barnes 270 grains TSX. He said : Music to my ears. He was not very fond of ultra velocity calibers. He was a great believer in the 308 or the 06' classe calibers loaded with premium...

I went to Africa in june. At first I thought it was one in a lifetime buffalo hunt. Two months later, there’s still not a single day I’m not thinking about going back.

Yes they are WordPress widely used in Afrikaans. At least Tavi, Hans and Johnny Nel used them a lot!

First, my apologies if I there's mistakes in my writing, because my first language is french. I’ll try to do my best, but don’t expect a lot of “style”. You won’t find Hemmingway here.. ;) Writing a report is a lot more time consuming that I have thought at first. But I wanted to do it on the...

The farthest was about 40 yards.

One of the things that kicked my decision of doing it at 50 YO, is because I have an aortic valve stenosis and I will need a valve replacement in a few years. It's caused by a malformation of the valve itself. I booked my hunt feeling good, but my last exam in march showed that the stenosis...

Thanks for the advice. I think my PH will appreciate hunting with me. I have no problem creating good link with people.

It’s a 2009. He’s at 265 600 miles right now. The market is totally crazy.

Here is one of my practice session: 4 shots with the 375

Thanks!

My friend, I'm living in Quebec, Canada. We make snow for the entire world here. ;) Merci beaucoup. L'anglais n'est pas ma première langue alors je fais de mon mieux pour le parler et l'écrire. :)
