[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1691215, member: 11960"] Properly throated and used as a single shot you should be around 2900 with a standard 375 RUM and a 350gr bullet. I shoot the 350gr SMK at 2950fps in a 375 RUM improved called the 375 BME. It will run them over 3050fps but the accuracy is significantly better at around 2950. This is using an OAL of roughly 4.100". I played with the 350 MTH very briefly a few years ago and had very poor results. The best I could come up wit was that the bullets weren't stabilizing properly because they were slipping in the rifling. I would get occasional bullets that would just go completely off track and seemingly fall out of the sky. I went back to the 350 SMK and never had another issue. That said, I just recently tried the 155gr MTH in a 7mm SAUM and they shot great out to 1380 yards so I may need to rethink my opinion of the CE bullets. I've only used my 375 BME for targets so the 350 SMK has been great for me. If you did want to hunt with it I would expect it to perform just like the 300gr SMK in a 338 Edge or Lapua. [/QUOTE]
