if handloading use 235 grn bullets that should top out at over 3000 fps in the .375. Use 270grn Barnes, Nosler, A-frames on the big,bad,burley stuff and I think you can do it on a 24" barrel. I believe you can buy these bullet weights in factory loads also. Screaming velocity really makes a mess of things if you eat what you shoot and really tears a bullet apart,even tough bullets. The .338RUM has a 26' barrel and isn't much different in velocity with the same bullet weights. Ammo harder to find. Chances are even if there's no gunstore open, where there are AK hunters there are .375s. IMHO  Jeff L
