I do not have a 375 H+H.I have a 375 Taylor.I neck .458 Win down.
My initial load development gave 2600 fps with a 270 gr bullet ,I got good accuracy and it was enough,I never pushed to get more out if it.
Its on an old Mauser FN commercial action,1952 I think.
22 in Douglas #4 bbl
Garrett Accra-Lite foam core /fiberglass stock
Leupold 1.5 to 5 x Vari-X3.
I can't tell you the weight,but pretty light.
I enjoy shooting it.I do not enjoy shooting guns that hurt.
In part,while I do hold it firmly to my shoulder,part of being able to call the shot,for me,is to relax.I do not try to take the recoil as an oak tree,more like a willow.
The scope has generous eye relief,no brow bashing.
There is something to the idea a 7mm Rem Mag or .300 mag might feel worse to shoot.IMO,it has to do with the speed of acceleration.
High pressure and accelerating a bullet to the 3000 fps range produces a sharper/quicker recoil..the recoil "punch" seems to penetrate the shoulder.
I do get shoved,moved by my .375,but it does not give the penetrating,bruising sort of recoil.
What is a little funny,it has a fairly thick pad on it,Sorbothane,I think.I get a two stage,double thump out of it,the pad bottoms out!That may be part of what works for me.
