The 375 H&H Magnum is a belted, rimless cartridge developed by Holland & Holland about 100 years ago. The cartridge is considered to be excellent for hunting big game in Africa, with some handloads developing more than 4600 ft-lbs of energy. Bullet weights generally run from 270-300 grains, with some lighter loads available.

While most reference texts suggest that the 375 H&H Magnum is not a good choice for North American hunting (bears being an oft-stated exception,) the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading (7th Edition) lists loads for a 220 grain flat point that it states is a “…good choice for deer hunting.” It should be noted the book lists reduced loads for this bullet, with velocities ranging from 2000-2300 fps.
