    What is Barrel Length?

    This has always been my thinking as well and I believe is correct. But it does leave room for error when you look at things from a ballistic perspective in that the rifling on a 24" 375 H&H barrel would be shorter than the rifling of a 24" .308 Win barrel. I however know that by definition the...

    What is Barrel Length?

    I have been wondering about this topic for some time and would appreciate your comment on this. What is it that is considered barrel length? Is it the chamber including the throat plus the bullet bearing grooved surface? In my opinion if I compare the COL of a .375 H&H to that of a .308 Win the...

    Desirable Powders For 300 Grain Swift A-frames, For .375 H&H Magnum?

    Please note that I worked up to 74gr H4350 with no pressure signs. The load was compressed but not over the top for 2466ft / s I have no need for higher velocities. If need be I can change to Norma brass with 3.2% more case capacity but will then have to start afresh with load development. Hope...

    375 H&H, 300gr TSX and H4350

    Good morning. Kindly help me with your stats on using 300gr TSX with H4350. I am looking for a guideline on a new ZKK602 custom built just received. No info on using H4350 on Barnes load data. I will do my own load development but would appreciate your first hand knowledge to gather info on...

    Desirable Powders For 300 Grain Swift A-frames, For .375 H&H Magnum?

    Good morning. Kindly help me with your stats on using 300gr TSX with H4350. I am looking for a guideline on a new ZKK602 custom built j just received. I use 300TSX in another 375 h&h of mine but with local Somchem propellant which is now unobtainable. Hence my move to H4350 which is pretty much...

    New 375 H&H

    Hi Fixfire, only reason I have the qd's on bolt-handle side is for carrying rifle with sling predominantly over my right shoulder. The bolt or qd's then do not bite into me. No hindrance with bolt extraction or anything. I use these rings on other rifles too 458 and another 375. All same side qd's

    In memoriam - Riaan Naude, Murdered

    I suppose this kind of journalism and the gist thereof can be construed as "hate-speech" which in South Africa is regarded as a serious offence and severely dealt with. Maybe a formal complaint by the family must be considered which will hopefully prohibit journalist Jack Newman from entering...

    Barnes TSX or Northfork

    "If you overdo the velocity, hit something hard, turn the bullet into a mangled shard it will likely go wacky no matter its construction :)" I think this is exactly correct and have seen this practically. The point being at normal velocities out to a certain range, all the bullets mentioned...

    Ideal African battery on BRNO ZKK actions

    Exactly my thinking. In any event the 6.5C a shorter cartridge than the 260Rem Furthermore, the ZKK action and the magazine box length allows you to exceed SAMI specs in as far as OAL is concerned. If classic is your objective 260 Rem also not your answer. Rhino 150gr at 2700 - 2750, must be...

    Barnes TSX or Northfork

    Just to assist in what you have said with regard to the TSX "have to be shot fast" This is actually incorrect and based on a perception and not based on practical experience. I posed this question to the Barnes manufacturers (notwithstanding using Barnes personally for 30years in 3" 458 and 375...
