“.375 h&h magnum”

The .375 H&H Magnum and .416 Rigby are both capable of taking the entire spectrum of game animals, in any climate, on any continent. But which is the better choice for the hunter? We investigate.

Both the .35 Whelen and .375 H&H Magnum are classic cartridges that have the horsepower to take larger game species. Which is the better choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

Among those cartridges which are considered the bare minimum for an all-around choice—and that includes the African heavyweights—the 9.3x62mm Mauser and .375 H&H Magnum are undoubtedly two of the best. Which comes out on top? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

The .350 Rigby Magnum is vastly overlooked even among rifle cranks but was at one time as popular as the .375 H&H Magnum. Released in 1908, it is an entirely original design, and was the first to feature the sharp 45-degree shoulder which is the hallmark of the Rigby designs.

For over a century, the .375 H&H has routinely, consistently and reliably made happy hunters around the world, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it continues to do so for another century.

Among the selection of cartridges that will handle larger North American big game, these two have undoubtedly risen to the top, yet there are many who fervently choose one over the other. We took a closer look at each to determine which has the ultimate advantage.

The .375 Ruger is simple, effective, affordable and shootable, and truly mirrors the velocities of the H&H case in a cartridge housed in a standard long action with a beltless, rimless design.

The second cartridge to bear the Precision Rifle Cartridge moniker, Hornady’s new .300 PRC is a beltless non-rebated .30-caliber magnum rifle cartridge designed for extreme performance at long range.

Hornady’s GMX is among the best monometal bullets on the market, and while the company has included them in their loaded ammunition lines before, the new Outfitter series is designed around the GMX exclusively. Known for its deep penetration, good expansion and high weight retention, the GMX makes an excellent choice for the big-game hunter.
