Also known as a .375 Velopex. Ideal for driven boar or red stag.
 
Very nice gun, good score !
Proper 375x 2 1/2 FNE brass is available....I make mine from 9.3x74R brass

Roger

Roger I think the Headspace would be off with the 9.3X74 cases as much thinner rim ?
 
Nice rifle & a very nice under rated cartridge, I have a few of them, all bolt guns, would like to try one regulated for the 320gr load but really the 270gr is more than needed on the game you should be shooting with the 2.5in, I use 200, 220gr, 235gr, 250gr some meant for the .375Win which are getting a bit hard to find now days.

It is a Lot more than the .375Win & Not a .303 Brit case necked up, you could use them (30/40 Krag & modified .444Marlin, 405Win) but loads do work best in the proper cases.
Thank you sir. I'd be interested in some of your light bullet load recipes if you don't mind.
 
Not sure Roger, but the 9.3x74 didn’t work for me when I tried to use them !

30/40 & 303 did but short, .444Marlin took some work as did .405Win.

I think too thin to work in my Steyr but also issues in the Lee Speeds.

I could make one up again & see what the trouble was as years ago now.

What are you shooting your loads in ?
 
@degoins your H&H is beautiful. And in a very useful caliber!
