I really like my 375 Ackley, if for no other reason, because it's different-not too many shooters have one. I didn't pick up much velocity over the H&H version with 300 grain bullets-perhaps 80-90 fps. With the 270 grain Barnse XLC loads, I picked up a little over 200 fps compared to the H&H.

I find it interesting when looking at loadings for the 375 H&H and 375 Weatherby in the Barnse manual, that some of the maximum loads listed for the Weatherby actually show lower velocity than the H&H maximum loads.
