Considering getting bolt action in either 375H&H or 375H&H Improved.
I handload.Any significant advantage of the Improved version?
Thanks.

Its hard to improve on the 375 H&H. Why bother when you won't see a significant differencebetween them in the field? The 375 H&H does a pretty good job of killing without an "improvement."

On top of that one of the niceties about about the 375 H&H is the availability of ammo, and that's not going to be matched by the "Improved" version, not by a long shot.

In a 375H&H AI you can shoot 375H&H, 375 Wea. & 375AI reloads, I may
go that way but the std. H&H is great. It is a good way to clean up the shoulder & gives a better shoulder to headspace on if you set you dies properly & not headspace on the belt. You can get a decent gain due to
the fact that the H&H is far from overbore, would I need the gain, no but
I don't want to look at it that way because I don't NEED the H&H either or
LT1 engines for that matter, but too bad.

IMHO, I don't think that the expense, and effort would be worth it. What difference is 100 fps really going to make? And don't forget the feeding issue that is bound to occur when you change the dimensions on the front half of the case. By the way, the H&H case will headspace on the shoulder just fine!

Of course, if your just a "rifle loonie" like so many of the rest of us, and have the money, and time to fix things that don't need fixing, more power to ya!

Yea, but the AI will headspace a little better. I think that most people would be better off with the std. round & should not mess with wildcats. But for me the AI has more appeal & again I can shoot the H&H also, so to each his own. As far as a feeding issue, if it is done right, no problem & again I would use the std for that. But in my case it sure is no problem as I will be getting the Encore. There is more than 100FPS, more like 200FPS diff. with some loads, but hey those who are happy with the std. & it is a great round, by all means go for it.
