Using 300 grain TSX, I get ~ 2400 FPS out of my 375 H&H 20” bbl Sako Kodiak. I get a similar velocity out of my 26” barrel Heym .375 Flanged Magnum. My loads are near max according to modern/current reloading manuals. No signs of abnormal or high pressure. I’m a conservative reloader. I do not hot rod my rifles. What would be the point? If you want or need more power than a given cartridge was designed to provide, I prefer to simply acquire a more powerful cartridge. I value my fingers, hands, eyes and general good looks and have no desire to rearrange my physique for an extra 50 or 100 FPS.
