DF, that is fine — no, really very fine — and I meant no criticism of your 375. You know how as you get older, you get more set in your ways? Even if they are wrong? 😮 🙂

However, in my thirties, I did find my “prescribed” 😉 weight for the mediums at that 8-8.5 lb range — a compromise of portability and power in the mountains and I still feel the same way.

While I know longer have that 375 H&H (had a Ruger also that did not quite equal that old English version), it would put three 270-gr TSX’s touching at a hundred, somewhere in the .3’s. Time after time after time.
