[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 957772, member: 22069"] I have had similar thoughts about the Rigby. QL says RL-22 would produce 2632 fps with the 350g SMK in a rifle similar to mine chambered in .375 Weatherby. In .375 RUM, top velocities are produced with VV560 and VV570, yielding a predicted 2659 and 2721, respectively. If both predictions behave the same way my H&H did (approx. +50 fps real world velocities), that would yield around 2680 fps for the Weatherby and 2709/2770, respectively for the RUM. The Weatherby requires about ten more grains of powder and the RUM requires about 27 more grains of powder. I am able to handle the H&H with the 350g SMK without a muzzle brake. I might consider stepping up to a Weatherby, but I think the RUM would be too much for me. It would be cool to see someone try the RUM, though. [/QUOTE]
