Is a .375 H & H too much cartridge for moose

Nope, just a magnum primer. This ensures that even if the primer flash runs across the top of the powder column it'll still go. Pistol powder ignites easily, and the magnum primer pretty much fills the entire airspace with fire.

^ illegal in Ontario might wanna check that before some get mad
Could you elaborate? Thanks.
I think he's referring to the stupid ontario rule of nothing over .275 calibre for small game. This applies to only a few jurisdictions, mostly in the southern part of the province. There is another law that states that no licence is valid from June 15 to Aug. 15 north of the French & Mattawa, meaning you legally can't carry a gun with you, since possesion of a firearm is a presumption of hunting.

No centre fire on small game . Only rim fire and shot shells

I sold my double rifle and no longer need these bullets. Just listed the entire lot on EE for 40 cents a bullet, shipped.
To add some 'variety' to my inventory,
I have need. PM sent.
statements like this show me how much I don't fking know about anything.
I bought a preloved 700 rem classic in .375 in March with the idea of it being a moose gun and has since become my favorite caliber if could ever find some time I'd start working on some reduced coyote loads with 4759 and 220,225 grn hornady projectiles.
This is incorrect... the presumption of hunting is made when carrying a weapon in an area with an OPEN season... there are no open seasons between June 15 (hares) and August 15 (bears), North of the French and Mattawa Rivers.
This is why it states that you cannot be in possession of a firearm of "greater" power than a .22 LR or a shotgun with shot size larger than "BB," when small game hunting in an area with and "open" season for deer, bear or moose, without holding a licence for the respective big game animal (paraphrasing... not exact wording).

Why would you say that? Many guys use wadding to ensure proper ignition, some choose not to, either way is fine so long as it works consistently in the caliber and load you're using.

For the purpose of this argument, coyotes are non-game as this rule dates back to a time when coyotes were not open "year round" but rather not "seasoned or protected." As it is now, they are ridiculously OVER protected, because the MNR doesn't think hunters can tell them apart from wolves... but they expect us to identify a black duck from a hen mallard flying at 45 miles an hour half an hour before sunrise... go figure.
Huh?

I tried to find it in this years regs and it seems as though it is no longer stated.
it used to be mind baffling that, what was it a 404 rimfire?? could be used while a 243 couldn't.
this was for grouse anyways
