Assuming that my chrono is accurate, and am getting 10 or more reloads on my brass before discarding.....it must not be too bad! I guess time will tell! Maybe 3000 fps is more reasonable, for the 270’s ....won’t know until it’s tried!
Been loading it pretty warm since 1990, it’s still in one piece! memtb

I prefer classic.

But you can probably get about whatever velocity you want. Once.
Running a 375 AI at 378 Weatherby velocities is a fool's errand. I agree. Believe me I have 30 years experience with the 378. The 375 Rum maxes out at 2950 with the 270 gr and a bit over 3000 with the 250 gr.

I tried the 6.5mm 127 lrx when they first came out in my 6.5x55. I shot a whitetail doe around 70 yards. I hit it right behind the shoulder. She ran for 80 to 90 yards without a single drop of blood I could find. I just happened to walk up on her. I never tried them again. The 120 or 130 grain barnes does much more damage.
