Why no 375 RUM?

[Riflecrank]

I know there is plenty of hate here for the Weatherby cartridges like 378, 416 and 460 but why does no one talk about or use the 375 RUM? What I've seen looks like it runs on the heels of the 378W, is it to much kick? Lack of availability? Just curious.

I have tried them all that you mention and too many more to shake a stick at.
Always, the .458 Winchester Magnum is the winner, with a 3.6" magazine box it beats the SAAMI .458 Lott.

My .375 RUM affliction was short-circuited by the more practical .375 Weatherby Magnum of 2001 CIP.
That is the best .375 of all, able to fire common .375 H&H in a pinch, accurate and only loses a hundred fps in the roomier chamber. It gentles the .375 H&H recoil for the sensitive-shouldered.
Yet it can do 2800 fps in a 26" barrel with 300-gr Weatherby factory ammo.
Just what a .375 RUM is touted for.
I have also tried .375/.338 Lapua Magnum (aka 9.5mm Tornado),
.375/404 Jeffery,
.378 Weatherby Magnum,
.375 Ruger.

None offer any advantage over the .375 Weatherby Magnum,
except the .375 Ruger's compactness at lesser MV,
and the .378 WbyMag's greater MV at all kinds of disadvantages.

In my fling with the .375 RUM in 2001, I shot a nice big buck from a tree stand
(I was in the tree stand, not the buck)
with this 23"-barreled one that was faster and more accurate than the Remington factory rifle
having 26" stainless barrel (M700 LSS).
Same 300-gr Swift/Remington factory ammo used in both rifles and on the white tail buck:
