Your story reminds me of when my hubby bought a 375 H&H Mag, we took it to the gun club and he was afraid to shoot it.

I'm assuming it was a typo and you meant a .357 Magnum - maybe not.  In any case, my wife (5' 5", 135 pounds) shoots a S&W .357 Magnum and I shoot a S&W .44 Magnum as well as a Desert Eagle (.44 Magnum) semi auto.  If you look at the video, almost no one has the butt (not Boston) of the weapon properly situated on their shoulder.  I used to shoot competition trap and would easily go through 250-400 12 gauge rounds in a day.  I guess the video is supposed to be funny, but IMHO, it's kinda dumb.
Yeah Arnie,
We noticed almost everyone was shouldering that gun too high too.
It wasn't a typo.  375 H&H Mag is a rifle.  (I think H&H stands for Holland and Holland) My hubby bought it for an Alaskan brown bear hunt that his boss sent him on.

Wish my boss would send me on a hunt like that!  ;D He's a lucky fellow.

The 375H&H is a notorious 0cat,mainly due to their inherent weight. Never once did Saeed film a 375H&H,for those very reason(s).

Typically it was the Nyati and/or T-Rex...often with soft loads offered to others,to bolster the courage of the unsuspecting.

In .375",you need to at least go 378Wby case capacity,for recoil levels to get sporty. Muzzle brakes excluded,as per always.

That was a long, long time ago!
Now he's self employed, and happy to shoot a whitetail out in our cattle pasture  :D

Well then, I guess his boss can send him on a whitetail hunt now. Still better than what mine does.  ;D
