Just picked up a box of 120gr. TTSX to try in my 6.5x55 Varberger Swedish rifle.
It likes 120gr. Sierras smoking along an 160gr., both Hornady and Sierras at 2,500fps.

FortunatI am not saying the 375 doesnt work..I AM saying the 416 does it considerably better. Per my experience on buffalo and other game.

My first trip to Zim, my plains game rifle was a 300 RUM, the 180 Accubonds were blowing up on game, so ..for the next 20 days all I used was my 416.From Duiker to buffalo, it worked perfectly..used 400gr A-Frames..roughly2400fps.. same for solids, 400gr Barnes Solids.. Shot game from 50 yards to 265 (bushbuck)..

I really dont find the recoil of my 416 Rem to be bad at all.. 375 is less..but I stand by my statement that the .375 makes a perfect PG rifle in DG areas.. Your going to wish you had a 375 vs a .270 in your hand when you get charged by a tuskless in the dark sneaking into a blind.. YES, that did happen..Twice.. not both tuskless..

Fortunately its raining cats and dogs here tonight..SO, I am headed to the gun room to do a bit of reloading myself.. getting ready for elk season.. so, loading up some 175gr A-Frames for my 28 Nosler.. Love that caliber/rifle on elk.. a bit much for deer and antelope..My next choices are 300 and 338RUM's .. also work great on elk..
