Regardless of whether you go with factory ammunition or load your own, the .300 H&H Mag. has the power and performance for everything from the 1,000-yd. line to moose camp—and quite a few places in between.
I agree completely! I, too, look back to a 721 in .300 H&H with iron sights that I bought from a cowboy in Arizona back in the mid-80s. He carried it in a rifle scabbard while he was riding, so it showed quite a bit of wear in the blueing. I bought it for a song, refinished the stock, had it polished and re-blued, bedded the action and put a Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8X on it. It shot just about everything I put down the tube very, very well. Unfortunately, I sold it for more than it was worth about 10 years later and I've been kicking myself since.

I've taken over a hundred big game animals with a 300 H H. It digests all bullets well but the best on game are bear claws and TTSX in the 200 gr category extreme penetration and terminal performance . The new Bergers will add 300 yards to a good 350 yard one now thanks to Bob Beck.gun shoots 1/3MOA ALL DAY! Even though I have more powerful weapons ,this works well along with his big brother a 375 HH also a pre 64

awesome article! The 300 H&H was my first experience with real hi-power rifles at the ripe old age of 14. it has helped forge "magnumitis" into my soul. I still get to shoot that gun from time to time (it is my brothers now). and every time i put that rifle in my hands it takes me back to my youth. if, a cartridge can be sexy, the 300 H&H is it. that pre 64 model 70 has provided our family with countless one shot, one kill's for many decades. the only downside about it is the limited availability and hi cost of factory rounds, and reloading brass. but it is well worth the effort. the only thing in North America i would think twice about setting out after with it is one of the 2 really big bears. it will kill them fine, but if you only had time for one shot before it was on top of you, i would want a more powerful gun. something in the 416 or 458 magnum calibers. i would much rather have a sore shoulder for a day or two, than spend a month or more in a hospital recovering from bites and claw wounds waiting for the beast to die. or become fertilizer for the plant life up north.
