Holland and Holland .375 2 1/2

[degoins]

New to me lovely old Holland made between 1899 and 1905. I've ordered the history of it from Holland and Holland. The barrels have been re-blacked and the stock refinished at some point. The bores are excellent and it locks up nice and tight.
Components and dies are on the way. Now if my shoulder will hurry up and heal up , I'll be shooting.

Very nice!

 

[degoins]

Very nice!

Thank you sir.

Those Dominion Hollands are widely regarded as the most robust and reliable side lock of the era.
So much you can do (with style) with that rifle! Congratulations !

 

[wesheltonj]

I am jealous.

 

[PerH]

The one based off .303 case if I’m not wrong

That's correct.

Oh I intend to hunt with it......as I have with that beautiful Dickson single shot that I bought from you a few years ago....

 

[Certus]

Perfect NA caliber for most anything.

I completely agree and I can't wait to put it to work!

And Midway happens to have 270gr round nose bullets on the cheap that would be rather “pukka” in that rifle!

Yep, I received 2 boxes earlier in the week.

I ordered 200 myself for my 375 Rimless Express.
It’s a Mauser so I can use the spire points too but the RN bullets just look so proper in that cartridge.
9.5X56 owners should jump on these bullets!

 

[DPHunter4570]

Awesome!

 

[degoins]

Are there pics of your Mauser somewhere?

For those of us less familiar with it, could you provide more information on the 375 2 1/2?

.375 2-1/2" Nitro Express

A .303 British necked up to .375 , for converted .303 actions and singles , doubles and so on

Nice rifle & a very nice under rated cartridge, I have a few of them, all bolt guns, would like to try one regulated for the 320gr load but really the 270gr is more than needed on the game you should be shooting with the 2.5in, I use 200, 220gr, 235gr, 250gr some meant for the .375Win which are getting a bit hard to find now days.

It is a Lot more than the .375Win & Not a .303 Brit case necked up, you could use them (30/40 Krag & modified .444Marlin, 405Win) but loads do work best in the proper cases.
