Holland and Holland will be introducing the 400 H&H cartridge - and a 465 H&H cartridge.
The 400 will be brought out on a necked up 375 case and will use the .411 bullets from Woodleigh as are already used in the 450/400. This is designed to a) provide a 20% increase in muzzle energy and b) the same energy at 100 yards that the 375 has at the muzzle.
The 465 H&H will be based on the 378 Weatherby sized case and will throw a .468 caliber 480 grain bullet ( used in the 465 NE ) from the Weatherby case reduced to H&H's standard long tapered shape. It is designed to match the 400 H&H's muzzle energy at 100 yards.
375 H&H = 4161 ft. lbs. m.e.
400 H&H = 5011 ft. lbs. m.e.
465 H&H = 6013 ft. lbs. m.e.
Now if they'd just bring back the old 300 H&H which gave you a gentle shove rather that a harsh slap to it's recoil, I'd be in hog heaven. Maybe even bring back the 350 H&H ( aka the 350 Griffin and Howe ). More to come out at the upcoming SCI.
