Moderate .375 H&H loads your experience?

I ended up settling on the 270 Hornady round nose, 60 grains of IMR3031, CCI250 primer, Rem/Fed/Win brass ( all are the same weight) for 2410 fps and 1.5" 100 yard groups out of my Sako AV. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

I have basically duplicated my .35 Whelen when it is loaded with stiff hand loads, which is one of my favourites for elk and moose around home. And I can still load 300 grain bullets at 2500 if I need more thump for Buffalo on my next safari. Bonus is that both loads shoot to pretty much the same POI at 100 yards.

I'm liking the .375 more and more as I gain experience.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
