That's pretty good performance. I get 2700fps out of a 24" barreled .375 M700. It sounds like you picked up a good one, Big Sqeeze.

i dont think something that kicks like that is considered a big bore, its more like a big mule
They call me "Boots"
375H&H Mag: Yeah, it kills stuff "extra dead"

343 we will never forget

It's actually a medium bore  Wink
BTW, General Boddington isn't always right. It will take a very long time, if ever, for a new cartridge to displace the H&H. The market isn't that big for medium bores to begin with.

it was a joke t, eventhough he said it in an article im not sold on any of  the short magnum setups and i have a hard time thinking that the "30-06" of the "medium" bores will be replaced same with the smaller stuff

The idea behind the 375 Ruger was the same idea behind the WSM`s! Shorten the case, the actions and make the rifles more compact without losing performance in comparison to the longer bretheren!!..........The 375 Ruger Alaskan 20" barrel does exactly that. Just like the new RCM`s will. Short rifles/hi-powered performance is no doubt a growing trend!!!.....Great combos!!

I read the article and after all the new WSM, RUM, SAUM activity in the last few years didn't give it too much thought.

It looks like Big Squeeze is seeing the results and that is good to here.

 fixed it ....
 
The old 375 H&H will soldier on ,,especially given the performance of today's "hi energy"
loads and the amount of H&H's out there.. however- I do believe some of the new short mags are short lived ( WSSM's, federal's 327 mag handgun round , Rugers 300 and 338 compact mag.s ,and  RSUM don't seem to be setting the world on fire either) WSM's seem to be the only one really having any sales success in the new wonder mag compact market ( hell- I bought one )

Sounds like a winner Big Squeeze, will have to have a serious look at that one.  I could stand another rifle less than 40 cal and it sounds like a real thumper.

Got that too in a Savage 116 - it's a real shooter!  Ugly stock but functional.
