Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 375 Ultra anyone?

TJ a 375 RUM shooting a 225g bullet at 2700 fps is well below 375 H&H performance. Recoil should be neglible. My deer and elk load in my 375 H&H was a 250g Swift A-Frame at 2800 fps (load came right out of the Swift Reloading Manual) and recoil was still extremely mild. I think when you start shooting 300g bullets well in excess of 2700 fps recoil will pick up a bit. Even then performance is not much better than the 375 Weatherby but uses more powder which translates into more recoil. By the way I like Rem 700s. The three which I have owned were and still are extremely accurate. I've never had a failure to feed or extract even with hot loads and only neck sizing my cases. I think they get a bum rap because they're not mauser variants.
