I am surprised at how many people have picked the .375 h&h as their top caliber/cartridge gun. Now, I know most of us do not have immediate plans to hunt Africa or dangerous game in Africa or the Americas (e.g., grizzly), but if I had to pick three rifles today and those were the only three I could pick ever, I sure wouldn't want to limit my oppotunities at a later date should I win the lottery and be able to hunt in Africa.
My picks would be:
1) .220 Swift or .25-06
2) .300 RUM even though I currently have a .300 Win Mag that I love
3) .416 Rigby or .458 Win. I wouldn't want a .375 h&h if I were to hunt elephant, lion, leopard, cape buffalo, or grizzly. I think a .375 h&h is great for most African game, but when something I am hunting could possibly kill me, I want to make sure that I am carrying enough gun.
Since I reload, I could tailor some of the loads for the particular game being hunted.
