Anyone with some thoughts or information on a 375/06 improved ?
I never had a use for a 30/06 anyway, I'll redo my 6mm rem to a 6mm/06 at some point. I just like the '06 case I guess... |

Before I did 375/06 improved, I'd look hard at 35 Whelen and 9.3x62, before deciding if really wanted, that much extra work and expense, for a little gain in fps. If I really needed that much horsepower, I'd look at 375H&H or 375 ruger hard.

Gotta side with Robt on this one D, the Whelen or the H&H are the way to go. If you go the route of the H&H, you can always switch to different calibers in the same case as well. The .300 is no whimp, and the Lott is a good way to head west while aiming east in Wyoming. Not to mention it's a nostalgic case that is as much practical today as it was 125 years ago. Only the Lott is a bit recoil intimidating.

Since you already have 35 whelen, 375 H&H, and 375 ruger; how about 375/08 Jaguar?

My brother has a 338 Federal (aka 338-08) GREAT cartridge. I've killed deer with it. It shoots flat and hard, much harded than on would think. It fits a short length bolt action (he has a KIMBER 84).
With a 20 inch barrel it makes a nice handling light weight stalk/hunt rifle for anything (a little light for big grizzly/brown). The 375-06 is a bad round, insufficient neck for headspacing. I HIGHLY recommend the 9.3x62. Great cartridge, got me one. Mine shoots under .5 with a 286 gr bullet. It is a classic Euro case, like the 6.5 swed. It is legal in africa for elephant!!! it can be easily formed from '06 brass. I shot my elk with it 3 years ago, 93 yards head shot. It removed the off side of the skull and the complete brain. Mine is in a manlicher style stock with doublt set triggers. I had it at MYGAWDS one year and we went to CB's range outside GF; maybe you shot it. I had ammo for everyone; it was typical cold April WINDY Mt. Just thoughts. only downside to the 375 H&H is it's length; doing a 375 H&H AI is a good choice also. If you are looking for a kick ass round, think 416 mag Rem or Weatherby...I load and shoot both. The 416 Remington has less muzzle blast and really has a decent trajectory. Got a grizzly at 230 yards shooting it off-hand! with a 400 grain Hornady handload, one shot.

Since you have a '06 bolt face, I'd suggest to stay with cartridges that have the same case head size. and generally a '06 length cartridge to make feeding perfect. That would include:
338-06 8mm-06 9.3x62 9.3x66 My favorite is the 370 Sako magnum. the cartridge’s power level and
bullet diameter put it right between the .338 Win.
Mag. and the .375 H&H Mag. it fits '06 actions like a shoe. not a true wildcat, as ammo and brass is available from Federal. And you would be the only one in Montana with a 37 rifle!!!!! |
