375h&h or 35 whelen

[Fowlow]

I own both rifles 35 whelen is a Remington limited edition stainless fluted and the 375h&h is a Remington 700 custom shop I'm on the fence and putting one up for sale does anyone on the forum hunt elk or moose with a 375 ? I know both are great calibers just looking for opinions

I have owned both. I wasn't really impressed with the down-range performance of the whelan compared to the H&H. I could just cut to the fact that of the two, I still own a 375, and leave it at that!
I reload all my own ammo, so supply for either wasn't really an issue, but I always noticed that of the two, the H&H ammo seemed more readily available in factory. I would be comfortable using the 375 for any game on the planet (although admittedly light for a few of the big five).

The 375 has more mystique to it than a 35 Whelen. I have owned both .My choice maybe based on wood quality differences . Which one do you enjoy holding and shooting more ? ( keep them both )

[huntsfurfish]

I also have a 375 H&H Remington 700 custom shop. Love it!

Definitely sell the 35, but make sure you wait until the first week of august so I can have some cash saved up for the buy/sell post

9.3x62 or .35 Whelen. Either does a fantastic job on WT to whatever if you keep your ranges within reason. Real meat savers on the smaller Game as well.

I’ve owned both and kept the 375 I just think of it as a supersized 30-06 it has way better trajectory with heavy bullets components are way more readily available Making its versatility beyond the 35 whelen which is no slouch

had a couple of ouch & ouch's and a 358 win .. i split the difference personally with a 9.3 x 62 ..

375 Ruger over both.

You need to read op carefully. He has both already , trying to decide which one to keep

[fordtruckin]

Never shot the Whelen but I have an issued duty rifle in the Holland and Holland. Since you have both already from purely a availability standpoint and commonality I’d keep the H&H. I am sure the 35 is great but the H&H has a track record similar to the 30-06. In the end keep which fits you the best and is the most comfortable for you to shoot.

Seriously, the Whelen, 375 H&H and the one in the middle (9.3x62) are all good, but a 416 is just awsome. I had the opportunity to test a 416 Rem Mag and I loaded it with cast. Works pretty slick, recoil was manageable and hard to argue with the power, even with cast.



My load was a RCBS 416-350FN, a Rem 9 ½ M and 37.5 gr of 5744. Should be around 1700 fps. Accuracy good. The rifle, a Cooper Custom. The brake got a little black, but no lead. I was impressed.

I've not shot it with any full power loads, and probably never will. I have eye issues and see no need to temp fate and risk a detached retina.

A buddy had a 35 and it knocked anything down it saw, but I wonder on ammo availability if I had one. That saying I am quite happy with my Ruger #1 in the
classic 375 Ouch & Ouch.

9.3x62...... great medium bore which is enjoyable to shoot.... manageable recoil.
