[@dougscott8161]

Hi, Scott, I would call that 375 H&H a "Civilized Beast", more modest recoil, less expensive to shoot and not as violent down range as the 700 Nitro, but the 5 round magazine give one a lot more total fire power in a defense situation. Overall, a comfortable accomodation. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving, God Bless and stay safe.

[@petesheppard1709]

A huge advantage of a double rifle is the FAST second shot. If being charged by a wounded, angry animal, there's no time for a bolt or even a semiauto to cycle. There's also the risk of a stoppage. In some countries, and for certain game (like cape buffalo), double rifles are the only guns recommended.

375 has taken more game globally than all the other safari calibers combined. It's equally at home in North America as it is in the African plains. Able to take Kodiak bear and moose as well as rhino and elephant Arguably the best all around large game caliber ever designed. Every collection should have one. Happy Thanksgiving Scott!

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

I didn't think moose counted in the same category. I know people who have taken moose with crossbows. I sure as heck wouldn't try for any of the others on that list with a crossbow. That said, the performance here on 375 was impressive and if it's fit for purpose and just enough, that's the perfect place to be. Exactly enough and nothing more.

[@mikerichards1264]

Sir, you are absolutely correct! I owned a 458 Winchester Magnum, a 416 Rigby, a 338 Winchester Magnum, and a 375 H&H. The 375 was the crown prince in the safe. It was chambered in a Winchester model 70 Synthetic. Extremely accurate and the recoil was comfortable.

Scott: Once again it would be really interesting to do your penetration tests using the oak boards like the ones you have used in past tests, to compare the .375, .500 and.700 Nitro FMJ's! As I think I have mentioned before, if you stack them back to back, or in bundles of 5 -10 boards with little to no spacing I believe that they will be less inclined to tumble or deviate from a straight path. Also, concrete blocks or pavers similar to those used in this video, would be interesting, as well! As always, thanks for a great video,. Stay safe and have a happy holiday!

[@rustybird8803]

Avi did a great job with phone books using Biģ guns

[@cheryltysver6132]

@Nathaniel Shrock Not sure what OP is referring to... but that was no typo! It will take a whole lot more pine boards than oak to stop these rounds as Scott has found out in previous tests and he (as well as some other channels) are about to find out that these calibers will, in general...track straighter and give more consistent penetration paths through the various targets than even the .50 BMG, due primarily to nose profile and bullet construction. This is assuming that Scott finds such a test to be something worth doing... but these tests would give some idea as to how these somewhat rare (.500 Nitro) and very rare (.700 Nitro) rifles compare to the more common calibers, if you can call the .375 et al., common! Just for the record I have tested and done load development for essentially all of the elephant gun calibers from the .600 Nitro Express on down...as well as dozens of tests with a wide variety of .50 BMG handloads using a plethora of projectile types in all kinds of targets at both standard and extremely high pressure levels. and have been doing this since the early 1960"s... ballistics is what I am most curious about. I am just trying to give back some guidance based on my experience... which by the way, does not include a .700 Nitro! It would be quite interesting to find out how the heck Scott managed to come up with one of these, who made it and how much they cost (we already know how much they cost to feed)? Again, this comment is absolutely NOT about bragging... it's about sharing information that may hopefully be helpful, based on real world experience. Lastly, the comments that I was directing my response to were right about the use of pine boards in earlier days for penetration tests, but those were generally used for the testing of handguns apart from even earlier tests by the military. My apologies for the length of this comment!

The 700 NE was developed using 1000gr bullet and 160gr smokeless powder. The only reason was, H&H had assured a client they would not produce another 600NE after he bought his, guaranteeing its value as the last. Another client wanted one, H&H would not go back on their word, so he said, then make me a 700NE and they laughed at the ridiculous idea. But eventually agreed, but the client had to shoulder all the cartridge and load development along with associated costs.

I love my old 375H&H... being from Zimbabwe it comes in handy at times... beautiful cartridge, low recoil, suitable for most African game from the smallest to the biggest & very good penetration - once had a lengthwise shoot through on a bull hippo (on land). Try solids on your steel plate...

[@garretisla5282]

Although .375 h&h mag is a somewhat tame big or dangerous game round, one of the most famous elephant hunters in the world, Walter Dalrymple Maitland Bell, used a 7mm Mauser to hunt his elephants. He was a proponent of accurate shot placement with smaller bore rifles, whereas most of his contemporaries used big bore rifles. He would often shoot them from an extremely difficult shot placement, diagonally from the rear. He often only used one shot to take them down, and the shot was coined the " Bell shot". He discected the skulls of elephants to learn the best and most humane way to hunt them. As well as being one of the most successful ivory hunters to ever do it, he was also a soldier, writer, painter, explorer, and one of the first aviators ever, as well as one of the first to fly and shoot down another aircraft! He hunted with the whose who of the times. He was a Scottish native, and died in the fifties. He fought in the boer wars, as well as the first world war. 7mm Mauser was the biggest rifle he used for the majority of his life, with all other game being shot with a .220 Savage hi power or a 6.5 Mannlicher. Towards his later years he used a .316 Rigby tuned Westley Richards, but abandoned it's use after he had a batch of ammo fail him. He used the remaining ammo to shoot birds on the fly, then never touched the weapon again. He was reputed to be the best shot in the world, and used to carry a Mauser c96 chambered in 9mm, with a shoulder stock holster, against human attackers in Africa, and killed a man at over six hundred yards with it, after they shot at him with a rifle. His exploits are legendary, as well as numerous. He went through 24 pairs of boots every year, and walked an average of 76 miles for every elephant he killed, of which he shot 1011, with only 24 of them being female. He hunted over 880 cape Buffalo, and used a Savage .220 high power for almost all of them.

[@Sherman62]

I shot a light .458 Win that a guy was building (Mauser action) a while back. Looking at it overall, you'd have never guessed it was a dangerous game rifle. I relaxed too much on the second round and the low power scope conked me. It had some recoil.

[@user-nl9nq6gi1n]

This rifle + slow motion made pretty awesome scene to me. I liked it and I enjoyed your video. Thanks!!

[@tallonmetroids271]

Honestly, this one surprised me with how MUCH energy transferred into your targets. Like, the .700NE makes things blow up really well, but this almost does it just as good, and it's literally, barely larger than half the size.

[@willo7734]

That cartridge seems like an awesome blend of velocity and weight. I think I like it even better than the 700 Nitro.

[@aaronostendorf9060]

Great !! Now I want a 375 H&H. Thanks for the fun video.

[@gscop1683]

Happy Thanksgiving Scott !.....Love the 375 ....beautiful rifle, looks more manageable but still a beast!

[@Sman7290]

I love how you're going on about it being "Small" and "not a .700 Nitro". Dude, .375 H&H is no joke!

Scott: Because nobody likes eggplants! Me: Slowly hits the like button.

Famed African hunter Walter "Karamojo" Bell shot just over 1000 elephants between 1903 and 1921. He shot most of these using a Mauser 98 rifle chambered in 7X57mm, which is the equivalent of .275 caliber. Of course that would be prohibited today, but it documents what an incredible marksman the man was.

[@owenwhetstine167]

Fun fact, all belted magnums are derived from .375 Holland & Holland as a parent case. The belt was utilized for proper headspacing as the original rounds were tapered for easier extraction in adverse conditions. .458 Lott is just blown out to .458, the winchester belted magnums are all trimmed and renecked.

For you that’s a baby one lol, love your stuff gonna order a shirt when I get paid

[@jacobackley502]

I think the smallest would really be the 6.5x55. It's been used on elephants for a long time with round nose full metal jackets very successfully, but is now illegal in most countries. Here in the states people would argue that it's too light for whitetail lol

[@jgordon5408]

Long live the Swede!

[@chancesmalley6708]

I have one that that i restored after being flooded in a safe twice and salt water both times its an arisaka type 38 havent shot it yet bc ammo is so hard to find ive checked in 3 states at countless stores and havent seen on box yet

Nice rifle cool video thanks Scott.375 h&h is a great round my uncle used to carry one when he worked way up north.

[@farleyjj1]

Just got back from South Africa having taken 5 Plains Game trophies using my CZ 550 Safari Classic in 375 H&H with my own reloads. Love that rifle. GREAT VIDEO--fun! Subbed!

[@paulkersey8865]

375H&H impressed me much more than I thought it would. Don't worry, the electric bike was successfully offset by possessing lucille,

[@michaelt.3805]

Great video, Scott. I appreciate your time. Interesting round.

[@radonato]

Every shot hitting the steel, when played in slo-mo, sounded like a toll of a western town church bell. Right at noon. Before a standoff. Eat your heart out, Sergio Leone.

[@possumpopper89]

I bought a gun collection several years ago and there was a Remington Custom Shop 375. It was a beautiful rifle. I was shocked at how mild the recoil was in that gun. My wife liked shooting it too. Someone offered me way more than I paid for it so it was sold.

[@freedomlover425]

Not just for elephants, I took a whitetail doe with my 375H&H a month ago. Hey Scott, what does the recoil from 50bmg with the big muzzle brake feel like compared to 375 with no brake?

[@heraclitus6100]

How did that doe fair against the H&H?

[@freedomlover425]

@@heraclitus6100 She died. It was a quartering double lung shot, in the 7th rib and out in front of the off shoulder. She went 30-40 yards. The buck 3 years ago was DRT. I think once you get to the level of "enough gun" there's not much difference. I like the nostalgia of the 375.

[@heraclitus6100]

@@freedomlover425 I use a .30-06 which is plenty for white tails. I've always wanted a .375 H&H but unfortunately the cost of one is rather prohibitive for me currently. I grew up reading big game hunting books. Some day I'll own a .375

[@freedomlover425]

@@heraclitus6100 Awesome! I love the '06 too, for the same nostalgic reasons. It's the cartridge that's literally saved the world twice.

[@toddk1377]

@@freedomlover425 Just like the 45, it's won two world wars 😆 Sorry, couldn't let that opportunity go to waste

It always brightens me day when Kentucky Ballistics posts a video

[@ftswarbill]

Personally, I like this elephant gun the most. Watching ammo being shot that costs $100.00 each makes me feel nervous for some reason.

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on the channel! Happy Thanksgiving Scott!

[@tjh44961]

I've shot a .375 H&H in a Ruger #1, and it was a lot of fun. But there is something about a double rifle that appeals to me, regardless of the caliber. Especially the cartridges during the transitional years from black powder to smokeless powders, like the 450 BPE. I have never been elephant hunting, and have absolutely no desire to do so, but I love the weapons, everything from the old 4-bore percussion rifles on down.

[@ideclineify]

My favorite rifle so far... absolutely beautiful Tiger Maple Stock !

[@franklinhayes5398]

I’ve got a Remington 700 in .375. Deer hunt with it for 30 years. Love it.

[@joshuaspicer8454]

The slow mo of the pineapple segments blowing out was very cool!!

[@jusnuts1443]

I knew an older gentleman years ago that deer hunted with a .375 H&H mag. He hunted over a mile south of where I hunted. I always knew when he touched off a round. Off in the distance... boom. Then "shhheeeerrrrrroooommmm", like a freakin' 105 artillery round (yeah, I'm an Army vet). Made me try to pull my head down in between my shoulders!

The super slo-mo is really cool on exploding stuffs. Finally a table fights back, right in the junk.

[@davep2945]

My favorite for you to use is the .700 nitro. My favorite for me to use is the .375 H&H! There will be a lot of unsold turkeys on discount here real soon. Some frozen or semi frozen turkeys would make a good exploding target.
