Hi all,
Given the plethora of posts about the effectiveness of the .375 H&H for use on both PG and DG, I felt compelled to share the following as I too feel that this 113 year old cartridge responsible for so many successful and ethical hunts in the past is now painfully obsolete.
1. The .375 H&H will not fit in a current AR platform. Everyone knows if you can't shoot it in an AR it must be rubbish.
2. If we would have changed the name to .375 Creedmoor the capabilities would have increased ten fold as common knowledge is the Creedmoor is some ancient language translated from Exceptional Mythical Capability.
3. The .375 H&H was recently observed eating kale and paying dues to PETA.
4. The .375 H&H never calls its mother. Not once. Not even on her birthday.
5. As a squirrel gun, I have personally witnessed the .375 H&H miss so terribly and laughably that the squirrel had time to run away and leave a dismissive pile of droppings in the time that the bullet left the rifle and when it arrived on target. A real round would clearly be moving in excess of 3200 fps.
6. The nearly pleasant recoil clearly denotes weakness and a lack of spine. This sad round would never win a debate on the superiority of capitalism and would quickly cede its ground on the importance of state ownership of the means of production.
7. I once went into a coffee shop in a foreign country and saw a .375H&H on the menu. I ordered one and was served a soy latte with extra foam and sprinkles.
8. The .375H&H doesn't like dogs.
I feel these eight points make clear that the only round appropriate for shooting anything anywhere should be unpleasant to shoot, unavailable in a reasonable number of rifle models, have no access to ammo anywhere in the world, and should have been invented at last year's SHOT show. I invite you all to share your concerns about this round so that we may all be protected from its siren song.
Excelsior!
