I've owned and used several 375 Holland & Holland rifles.I always got my best groups with 4350 powder.
You've made it clear that you find it uncomfortable to shoot.I've been shooting heavy caliber rifles for a long time.The 375 H&H is not considered to be particularly punishing to shoot compared to the heavies.I mention this for a reason...I've seen many at the range who try to shoot heavy caliber rifles and it's obvious they don't know how.There are certain techniques which one needs to adopt when shooting a heavy recoiling piece.
I can shoot a clover leaf group at 100 yards with a 460 weatherby if the rifle is up to it.I have seen other people shoot a rifle with less than half it's recoil act as if they were dying.No,I am not a superman.I am simply making a point.
Having said that....a two inch group at 100 yards is perfectly acceptable.
