Welcome from Alabama. Go Troy and War Damn!

completely agree with others assertions to get age appropriate pneumonia and shingles vaccines. As to the type of pneumonia (discussing pneumococcal or bacterial pneumonia here) vaccine, the determination of when/whether an individual needs a pneumonia vaccine and, if so, which one they need...

certainly your mileage may vary. This is all I can say for my examples in question. As a last note, I hope I enjoy shooting the 1953 m70 as much as I’ve enjoyed its successor. I’ve put several hundred rounds through the South Carolina gun and it’s the best printing factory gun I own-250 and...

I have both (2012 South Carolina and 1953 New Haven) in 375. the 1953 is new to me and is at the smith getting some stock reinforcement (had some small, not through and through cracks behind the recoil lug and the magazine well) so I haven’t shot it yet. The newer action is a bit smoother in...

If that falls through for any reason, let me know. I have new cases

Any idea on year?

@Chris Sells should be able to help

Just received 375 weatherby Norma cases I ordered Thursday night. Lightning fast, cheaper than the big guys, and as advertised. thank you!

I struggle so much with this. Agree completely that just about any gun becomes unwieldy with a suppressor hanging off the end. not to mention how ugly they are (cosmetic I know but as much as I try to ignore that it does, apparently, matter to me). But I love hunting with one. There is nothing...

I ordered brass from raven rocks and I’ll find some dies. after considering it im reaching out to griffin and Howe to get their take on the cross bolt and bedding job (or whatever they think is most appropriate). As one of the classic model 70 shops they’ve got a lot of institutional experience...

I was looking for an h&h pre64 action on which to build a Lott and came across a local supergrade originally in 375 h&h but rechambered to 375 wby. I love the gun. The wood is perfectly weathered and the barreled action/jewelry nicely warn. Outside of the rechamber, it looks all original. It...

I think there are a few of us out here getting ready for our first trip. It’s not an easy sport to jump in to though (relatively speaking). A lot of reading. A lot of investment. Very appreciative of this forum.

You may get some hate but there are those of us that also wonder this. Well asked

Bueller…Bueller….

Time to build a new rifle. A few years ago I toyed with a double (there is an old thread with my questions and lots of helpful answers from our team here) but after almost making a purchase and then having second thoughts I’ve come back to bolt guns. I’ve played in 375 and 416 but I feel the...

Agree, practice with any gun you plan to use (much less DG) is critical and DG calibers are perhaps the most economical calibers to reload

+1 for reloading if you’re interested in niche calibers—which essentially all DG cartridges are. I can find components available for just about anything on at least a yearly basis (and can almost always special order brass from folks like Bertram) and can put together excellent ammo from this...

I don’t think I want a Gibbs but stranger things have happened. What’s the weight?

Appreciate you posting. I was wondering if the the comb would be low enough for an rmr on the blaser. Glad to know that it is

Yeah, I can’t imagine much of a sales market for a ffp 1-6. Ffp is typically for shooting longer ranges where the magnification level can alter the degree of the scope adjustments. A scope topping out at 6x seemingly designed for big calibers seems less likely to benefit from ffp and you’ll lose...

Easy to tell. Look through the scope and change magnification. If the reticle size changes with changes in magnification it is a first. If the reticle doesn’t change with changes in magnification it is second

Just saw the comment about the contract for hydros falling through due to perceived short supply. I suppose I will wait and hold dearly those I have remaining

Wow, good news that they’re on the way back. also, I had no idea hydros never stopped. Anybody have a lead on US supply of hydros? I typically shop from online (brownells, midsouth, midway, etc) and cannot find any bullets available. Midway even lists them as discontinued

Sorry to resurrect the thread but anybody know how this is coming along? Getting low on 375 hydroshocks

I have this rifle’s twin. Per a lot of reading prior to purchase (the sources of which escape me at this time) this is a rifle that was made in the US, in South Carolina, following their resumption of production for the model 70. This is true of all the made in usa, baco, Utah stamped guns. Utah...

Wow. Impressive

Thanks all for the replies. I feel like I’m dialing in my decision with the feedback. Some of the more recent discussion brings me back to one of my original questions. Can anyone speak to the described improvement in terminal ballistics with the 450/400 over the 375? Many AH members, gun...

Those are gorgeous. Like you with hogs, I may switch to using mine exclusively. Especially if I like shooting it more than bolts as I liked sxs shotguns more than semiauto’s

Redleg, I’ve read many of your posts as well as Ive worked through this. One of my initial musings on the topic was to go with the s2 with 2 (or three) barrel sets and a good 1-8 scope in their qd mount. However, finding new old stock or used barrels for the s2, even on blaser buds, seems a...

Kevin, thanks very much for your reply. I’ve been reading your posts for some time now and was hoping you would weigh in. Good luck with the new 450/400! I look forward to the hunt report after it comes in.

So I’m in the 18-24 month window for taking possession (to include the ordering/waiting) of a double. I used to be perfectly fine with my bolt guns but you guys talk too much about doubles and there are too many videos on YouTube and now I can’t live without a double. Specifically interested in...

Oh, and as far as handloads vs factory ammo and precision driven by reloading practices I offer the following from precision rifle blog (I dabbled in the precision shooting community—not for hunting but for competition): https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/04/18/how-much-does-sd-matter/ the...

For fast fixes +1 to both individual charge measurement (critical to any significant precision for longer range shootin) and maybe chrono issues. For more unpacking of the topic, at an extreme spread of 100 FPS my sleep addled brain says you should be around an SD of 33 (3 SDs gives you about...

I have a custom rifle built on a blueprinted r700 action. Douglas barrel, walnut accuracy innovations stock with bedding block, NECG sights, cerakote. If interested, shoot me a PM

I can’t comment on its effectiveness on bigger game (only used it whitetail and black bear hunting) but the cartridge is easy to reload for, a moderate variety of bullets and other components are available, and any North American animal is in its power band. If you don’t reload, I don’t know if...

I’m right there with you Daniel. They’ve moved me past my “but do I need it?” mentality. I believe one is in my future in the next year or so. To that end I’m playing the new or used game. If new, I probably need to get moving on a trip to Dallas in the next 6 months. Anyone got an English...

As an update, I did hear back from Barnes. Given they haven’t tested this bullet with H4350 in the 375 H&H, they recommended the Hodgdon data for the 250gr swift bullet as referenced by meigsbucks above. Standard recommendation of start at the minimum data and work your way up, stopping if you...

Thanks all for the replies. They are good for finding some left and right lateral limits. I’ve got an email out to barnes asking for some data. If I haven’t heard anything in the next week or so, I’ll probably build a ladder between 77 and 82gr H4350 to keep things safe and see where the...

Same as my last response. I have 2.5lbs of varget but that’ll only go so far when I can’t get my hands on any. Given I’ve got pet loads for my 416 rem mag that really like varget I’m trying to hold on to it. I haven’t been able to get H4895 in 8 months. I have none on the bench. Hopefully I’ll...

I don’t disagree that reloader 15 will work for the job. I just can’t find any.

I had considered it but I haven’t really experimented much with the differences between monolithic solids and lead core bullets of the same grain. Still considering it though

First post on the site. New to medium bores and wanting to build a North American load for my 375. I’m a big fan of H4350 from other calibers i shoot and have a lot on hand. I also tend to shoot a lot so I don’t want to burn through my limited amount of other powders in the current environment...
