I have the 300 H&H, 375 H&H and the 400 H&H. Love them all!

I use Bertram for my 300 Flange. Cases vary lot to lot. I’d had o anneal them before loading as I’ve had issue with necks splitting. Some cases are very hard. I’ve not had any issues after annealing.

The 400 H&H is a great caliber and I’ve got the best of both worlds with the 375 as the second barrel. RR 314 my wife says you can have the right of first refusal if I make her mad and she start selling my possessions. [emoji30][emoji23][emoji23]

Good day RR 314. Yes I love the Dakota it’s been to Africa twice and headed to Mozambique next year for a buffalo hunt.

300 Sierra Game King worked perfectly

I love the 375 H&H. It’s versatility is outstanding and most rifles are very accurate if I do my job. Owning 2 Winchester model 70’s both are a gem to shoot. Then I stepping up to a 416 REM Mag which does have more recoil but is still fun to shoot and hunt with. And then came the Dakota 76 with...

I did my own application for my Namibia leopard back in January and received the original permit in about 45 days back in March, however I had made a mistake on the consignment contact and had to resubmit. Mr. Hubbard called to follow up with me regarding the amendment I had completed on line...

Accuracy is very good. Normally after switching barrels the first shot will be within 1/2” of sight in and subsequent shots are usually back to sight in point. Even changing barrels and re attaching scopes has no measurable concerns. It’s been an excellent set-up and accuracy has been great.

The Dakota 76 Traveler is a great rifle. Mine has made 2 trips to Namibia so far and performed perfectly. Have taken Steenbok, Springbok, Gemsbuck, warthog and Mtn Zebra. My has 375 H&H and 400 H&H barrels. Change over is simple by loosening one Allen screw.

300 H&H Win Model 70 and 180 grain Swift A-Frames.

@Areaonereal. I traveled Ethiopian Air last November to Windhoek and was concerned about short connection times both coming and going. We had no issues as there was an Ethiopian gate agent, who had our names for those with firearms, who meet us as we deplaned in Addis Ababa. He escorted us the...

PM sent regarding New nickle cases if still available

I use and love the performance of the Barnes 235 TSX in my 375's for plains game and have used them on 3 safaris taking everything from impala, bushbuck to eland. Black Wildebeest was shot at 300 yards. Bullet shown was recovered from off side front shoulder on my eland taken at 200 yards.

Good day everyone, The trip was fantastic and Ethiopian Air allowed carry on bags and they did hold the plane from Addis Ababa to Windhoek for almost 30 minutes for two of us traveling with rifles. They also held the 777 for approximately 10 minutes on the return from Addis Ababa to DC for two...

The Ethiopian website says only laptops and medicines. No handbags or carry-on. But i also heard business class travelers could take carry-on. I usually carry a day pack with books, magazines, medicines and was told to only carry items that can fit in my pockets. I'm going to try might have...

I'm scheduled to fly to Namibia in November on Ethiopian Airlines via Dulles as well. I asked the same question about the time in Addis Ababa and was told by a couple of guys who just returned to make sure you have copies of your firearms paperwork in your gun case. Supposedly they have you...

I have two 300 H&H's one a Winchester Model 70 the other a Remington 721. They have completely different shoulder datum points. Full length re-sized with 0.002" shoulder set back for both rifles the Remington cases won't fit in the Winchester but the Winchester will fit in the Remington. They...

Without protection the ringing in my ears increases to the point of being uncomfortable even after 1 shot. I wear walker game ear plugs and i can also hear the PH when he's talking to me.

Shootist43, I'm using Hornady brass, Winchester WLRM primers. My starting load was 76 grains of IMR4064. OCL is 3.60", and run through my Lee factory crimp die. Load was accurate with no pressure or extraction signs or issues. I worked up to 77.5 grains maintaining accuracy and I do not have...

You might look at IMR4064 as I'm getting just under 2,400 fps and good accuracy with both 400 gr. A-Frames and North Fork SS with my model 70. I've been able to get close point of impact using Trophy Bonded Sledgehammer solids as well. Best of luck

I'd take my Dakota Traveler and 235 Barnes TSX and 300 gr Swift A-Frames for the 375 H&H barrel and 400 gr North Fork and some solids for the 400H&H and for me i believe my basis would be covered.

I own 7 Model 70's, which 2 are 375 H&H and 1 416 rem. You can't go wrong with the model 70 Winchester, They shoot great right out of the box. Buy one and never look back.

My everyday carry is a Springfield XPS 3.3 with 185 gr Hornady FTX. Recoil is very manageable, accuracy is excellent for close range. Just my two cents worth.

One has Tally QD and the other has Warne QD both have Zies 1x6 scopes. One can never have too many 375 H&H's.

RANCE SAFARIS

I have the same questions as Bruce (gillettehunter) asked above. My wife says only if she gets to go and we would want to make the most of the trip and spend extra days to make it an adventure. Thanks Mike

LIAM URRY SAFARIS

Congrats. I took my 416 Rem Mag and shot my buffalo, a Nyala, Impala and a sable all with 400 gr TBBC. Longest shot was 125 yards but the rifle and bullets performed flawlessly. I took 350 gr. A-frames but did not use them. The Impala is the only one than ran off when shot. He was shot at...

I have the Zeiss with the #60 illuminated on my 375 H&H and it is a fantastic scope and i wouldn't hesitate to get another.

The rifle arrived today and Christmas came a week early. I can assure everyone it is everything Limpopo promised and more. Can't wait to get some rounds loaded up and pull the trigger. Now to start planning that next adventure to Africa. Cape Buffalo, Oryx and maybe a Mountain Zebra with...

I just sent you a PM with questions. Look forward to your reply

Beautiful rifle in a great caliber set. Is it still available???

I hope you find the M70 in 416. I love mine, taken Impala to Cape Buffalo with it. You'll love it! It's a toss up between the 375 H&H and 416 which is my favorite. Good luck.

Mine has been on 2 of my plains game safaris. Never a doubt about the decision to take on a hunt. Buy and practice and you will never regret your purchase. Great cartridge in a great rifle.

Well said! I hunted buffalo with Claude at Makuya in September of 2017. What great trip, Makuya is a beautiful place with wonderful people.

Truly a tragic and sad day. We spent a wonder 3 weeks hunting with Claude at Makuya Park last fall. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. You will be missed!

Cape Buffalo anywhere and everywhere!

Great choices on the rifles and good luck!

Take the 416 Rem model 70 and don't look back. I did and no regrets at all.

A very unique trophy

Want one

Great thoughts and conversation. I have both the 375 H&H and 416 Rem Mag in Winchester Model 70. Took the 416 last year and shot a buffalo, Impala, Nyala and Sable with 400 grain Trophy Bonded Federal ammunition. For this hunt the 416 Winchester was absolutely outstanding. You can go wrong...

Dam tough animals - thanks for sharing!

My 416 Rem Mag Winchester model 70 with 4x Leupold compact scope weighs in around 11 pounds. Recoil is very manageable. Hand loaded 350 gr speer to practice and used 400 gr Swift A-Frames on Buffalo and Sable. Shoot nearly 300 rounds practicing and the more I shot the more I loved the rifle...
