So the next time someone asks you what the best all around big game rifle cartridge is, don't tell them the same old tired bs about the .30-06 or .308, tell them the truth that it's the awesome .375 H&H Magnum.
And deer started growing to 2000 plus pounds when You are the FIRST person I've EVER heard consider deer a big game....

Problem is the 375 actions are big and heavy, and, if you can kill an elephant with a 286 grain, 9.3 x 62, or 9.3 x 74R, with no recoil, in a 6.5 pound double, why do I need a 10.5 pound CZ 550 in 375?

The best thing about the 375, in a long action, is it can be converted to actually use it's potential, AKA the .458 Lott, or .475 Ackley. 500 grains at 2400 fps IS a big game round, not the wimpy little penetrator 375 H&H....
