I'll share my 20 years of hunting, shooting and loading the 376.
My load pushes the hornady 270 SP @ 2510. OAL makes full use of the magazine.
I have shot whitetails up to 200#.
The hornady doesn't expand much, pretty tough bullet.
Accuracy from the steyr 20" carbine is stellar. Always sub MOA.
best group ever was a 3 shot cloverleaf at 200 but I've banged 5" steel plates at 325.
I've got better than 500 pieces of brass and a few hundred of the older 270 SP bullets.
Recoil is not what I'd describe as brisk compared to a 270 weatherby and not as much push as a 45-70.
Think 20ga with slugs.
