Sorry, havent read the posts, but will give my thoutghts on things that is often forgotten in these discussions. Push feed is safer in case of the most dangerous ammo related accidents, rupture of the case bottom. Every time the gases have to turn 90 degrees it bleeds of energy. On a Remington...

375 Ruger do everything 375HH does, but with a 4" (10cm) shorter barrel. Ammunition or reloading component is hard to come by even in Europe. 375HH is all over, also in rural shops.

Any ideas about how much speed you loose by shortening the barrel from 22" to 20"?

Double stack, kan be reloaded from top when mounted in weapon.

Tungsten rods are easy to buy on Ebay.

Where to mount the red dot sight. Seems Krieghoff have made a space right over the chamber, but aint that to tight to really use the field of view on SRO. Ain't right before back sight the right place? And it wold suit more old aged eyesight.

Any hat colors to be avoided in Africa? i guess White, light colors and natural straw.

From a total amateur prospective, ain't Els & Co the only solution that protects the cartridges from being bent/destroyed?

Mauser M98 in 375HH have 5 round mag capacity, Heym have 4 rounds.

According to Blaser R8 caliber chart, if you choose a Safari rifle, you cant choose 30-06 or 300WSM. But is it realy true?

It would be nice if the weights is actual weight - inkl scope/red dot.

Why 3, most country's only allows 2 weapons/calibers for visitors. 2 gun wardrobe 300wsm if you bring own ammo. 30-06 would be a good alternative. 416Ruger if you bring your own ammo. 416rigby or rem. 3 gun warderobe 30-06 375HH 470Nitro double rifle.

Schultz & Larsen have 416Taylor on their web side. But the Norwegian dealer have both i catalog and web side 416Ruger barrel for the gun. The factory web side is a sorry sight Schultz & Larsen But the British dealer have the duck's in the row Great danes rifles

Are you allowed 3 rifle calibers in to Africa, i think the limit is 2 calibers, and not 2 rifles in same caliber.

Nr 2 is the same basic brass, it can use the same reloading dies as 416 Rigby. But have you ever found dies, brass and reloading data?

The Heym Express in 375HH holds 4 cartriges in the mag, but Mauser M98 magnum holds 5 cartriges. Is it because Heym's mag box is made to fit 375HH (and thereby hinder the bullets to be pushed inside the case during recoil).

It have been discussed in a Norwegian Forum, and is tested in real life in a product development phaze (for Schultz & Larsen as i understand). It is rupture of case from primer pocket to rim that is most Dangerous. They said that it is the number of 90 degres turns gass have to take before...

In a Norwegian forum there was a case with a Sako 85 firing a 6,5x55 where the case ruptured from the primer pocket to rim. No injuries to the shooter but gun was not usable any more, bolt kept in place. But this resulted in a discussion about the safest actions when it comes to strength and...

Internal volume in the cartridge is about 7% larger in 385 Ruger than 375hh.

Yes. About 7% better, only availability of 375hh is better than 375 Ruger. All other parameters is in favor of 385 Ruger.

I belive they fill a market space and will survive, like 300wsm. 375 Ruger have a following, is better than 375HH. It will take time for 416Ruger, but it is a bether solution than 416Rigby.

What is stronger, a scope with rails or mounted with scope rings? What about swing/pivot mounts, most of these are not one piece mounts, will a railed scope be strong enough for at 2 piece swing mount?

A decocked is seen as the safest option, specially how guns are carried in Africa. Would the Voere Manual cocking system work ? Voere link

Old tread, but can't see it mentioned that Norma PH ammo in 404 Jeffery is made to same "power level" as 416 Rigby. But both Hornady and Kynoch follow the original recipe = same "power level" as 450/400 NE 3", aka .400 Jeffery.
