Settle the Debate: .375 H&H Magnum vs. .375 Ruger - The Global Hunter's Guide

Travis Wier Season 1 Episode 13


It's one of the most enduring debates among big game hunters: the legendary .375 Holland & Holland Magnum versus its modern counterpart, the .375 Ruger. One is a time-tested icon of African safaris and Alaskan adventures, while the other offers nearly identical performance in a more compact, standard-length action. But which one is truly right for your next hunt?

In this episode, we're joined by Travis Wier from Global Hunting Solutions to cut through the noise and deliver the definitive guide. With decades of experience guiding hunters across the globe for the world's most dangerous game, Travis provides unparalleled insight into how these cartridges perform in the real world—not just on a spreadsheet.
