Huvius, that will be a nice rifle to own, love to see some photos.

The one in Rothammers thread is however a MS not a Mauser. So which one did you buy.

The 375NE was also between 50 and 100 fps slower than the 9.5x57. One can only assume that it was designed as a sort of tropical load as almost all guns chambered for that cartrdige would have been used overseas.

Having said that considering that it has a bullet weight of 270 grains versus the 318 of 250 grain at 2400 fps it is probably fairly consistent considering case size. A 318 with a 270 grain bullet would not have been much faster I wouldn't think.
