Solid bullets in 375 H&H, velocity?

[mark-hunter]

So, simple question for reloaders and experienced elephant hunters:

Recommended velocity for 300 grain solid bullet in 375 H&H for elephant?

This is straight off Hendershot's website for 375 H&H. I use 2500 fps for 300 gr bullets in my 375 Ruger.

I have not hunted Elephant with the 375, only the 416 Rigby. If using the 375 I would use the Woodleigh Hydro like I do in the 416. In my 375H&H the Hydros are running at 2600fps 3 mts from the muzzle.

My 25” Pre-64 shoots Federal 300gr Sledgehammers at 2550, I’m sure that will handle business!
