The .375 Weatherby Magnum.  The very best of the .375 calibers.  Excellent choice.  I love mine.  Lawdog

I wish someone would explain to a dull old guy (like me), what on God's Green Earth the .375 Weatherby will kill that the good old .375 H&H can not. Like the Energizer Bunny, it's still going. Since 1912, I believe.

I am a 375 H&H guy myself. But it's nice to get what you want.  :D

Ramrod,

The .375 Weatherby is to the .375 H&H what the .300 Weatherby is to the .300 H&H.  It does everything that the H&H does but does it 200 fps. faster.  Brass doesn't cost anymore for Weatherby than it does for H&H, in both calibers, so reloading cost are the same except for a bit more powder.  I own the H&H versions in both calibers but I really like the added advantage the Weathrby gives.  And it does have an advantage whether anyone wants to believe it or not.  Lawdog
