[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 121056, member: 10"] Crow mag, I agree with your comments 100% but isn't 2732 fps pretty tame for a 375 RUM with a 300 gr bullet. I had one a couple years ago in the Rem 700 LSS and was driving the 300 gr Hornady bullets to 2875 fps pretty comfortably, at least I thought comfortably??? I did not shoot it much, it became a 257 Allen Mag soon after that testing!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I agree though, a 375 RUM with the right bullet would be a serious long range hammer. Not as ballistically flat as the 338 but more authoritative at ranges out to 700 yards I would imagine on elk size game. Bullet drop is easy to accurately figure so do not let a bit more drop take you away from the 375. It is true however the bullet selection for the 338 is vastly superior but there are enough big bullets in the 375 to be used to that range with good results. Not as warm and fuzzy to shoot though!!
