I once shot a Weatherby .378 WM & it's recoil was worse than from the .460 WM.

That's exactly what it is.Unless you're talking about two different bullets being fired, this would be a wonder of modern ballistics!
Notice, I said, "Weatherby factory ammo ballistics with 300 gr. bullets".

They load the .375 Wby with the 300 gr. Partition with a B.C. that whoops up on the .378 Wby 300 gr. offerings.
It's not new math. It's old physics.
Actually, it's not hard to get 2800 fps from a 300 grainer in the .375 Roy. All it takes is some AA-4350 and a 26" barrel.The .378 can push a 300gr to 3000fps. While super impressive, thats probably enough to make me flinch...lol The .375's reloading data says 2700fps for a 300gr. Thats a hefty jump in speed.
With 6000ft/lbs of ME, that's some pretty big shoes for the .375 to try and fill. I think of those two guns, as identicle twins, and one just ate more as a child
No way to push 6000 ft/lbs in the .375, though. That's strictly .378 territory.
No fair doing the old apples n' oranges thing!That's exactly what it is.

I'm just sayin'........................No fair doing the old apples n' oranges thing!
Take it up with Roy's boys, I guess. They're the ones who loaded apples in one round and oranges in the other.
True that!!
He's also the same guy that realizes very soon that he won't shoot much unless he has oil wells or he reloads.
The person who buys a .375 Wby. can walk out of that store with that box of H&H and still have a darned fine big game hammer..............and a piece .375 Weatherby brass every time he pulls the trigger.
Yes, I thought of having a 375 Ackley made for that reason. I know at least one of the versions will shoot 375H&H, 375Wea, & the AI, would be kinda neat.
