WOW! ...... That's a rockin' load right there

Yes it is and IIRC I can load it up to 3000 fps. But that'll do for any critter I want to use it on.

Here's a load I found for my 375CT. It wasn't that accurate and was a bit hard on brass so I backed it off to 2700fps and eventually went to the 260AB.

SuperCub,don't knock 2700 fps with a 260 grain AB it'll do for anything you want it too.

That Swift A-Frame picture I posted earlier is going 2690 fps from a .375 H&H. I used the SAF's on wildebeest,springbuck,oryx and a blesbok on that safari and I would not hesitate to use them up to and including eland.
