375H&H drops pretty quick with 300gr loads. The 375H&H and other africa bolt actions are heavier and the kick is not as bad as one would think. When hunting caribou on the open plain in Alaska, it drops very quickly compared to a 7mm Mag.
IMHO, A 338 Win mag is typically as heavy as a 7mm mag or 300 win mag and has a lot of kick.
I've loaded 225gr Hornady's with min. amount of Varget and created a nice deer load. My dad has shot coyote and deer with it. These loads are about 2500fps. Speer makes a 235gr in .375. I think Woodleigh does as well. Someone still makes 235gr factory ammo. But I can't remember who.
His 375H&H is a 1975 model.
The new FN made 70's with MOA trigger are excellent. I got my dad a Super Grade and made 270 WSM 130gr Accubond loads with IMR 4350 and Norma brass. It is very accurate as well as the Winch 130gr Ballistic Silver Tips. I am getting about 3260fps from the 3275fps factory rated ammo. The IMR 4350 had no problem reaching those speeds. R19, and R22 didn't do as well for me. R22 never got up to speed, and the R19 was too peaky.
