Is .375 H&H over gunning it for driven wild boar ?

No, but choose bullet carefully...not only for ricochets but to prevent for long running of boars as well, after hit......
What would you suggest ? Partitions ?
Norma Oryx is a great bullet. I shoot 180grn hand loads in my .308. Very accurate and the 2 i have recovered from moose had a retained weight of over 95%. I shoot them in my 7x57R as well. Would i buy a .357 H&H for boar or moose ? No. But what ever rings your bell
I shot a moose a week ago with the .308 with 180 grn Oryx and the bullet went strait through. It has done the same with boar. How much more killing power do i need? I do a lot of walking when i'm working the dog so do i need to lug a .375 around ?
I have toyed with the idea of getting a 9.3x62 barrel for the Mauser but do i need all the extra power when the .308 do's the job OK.
awesome cartridge !
great for driven game simmilar recoil to a .300wm in a decent balanced rifle
Im using 250gr barnes ttsx at around 2900fps in mine
recently shot a whitetail buck with very minimal meat damage and stopped it in its tracks
