Also, holy shit, a single .950 JDJ round weighs half a pound.

Sorry, I was out fishing off the coast, just now seeing your post.
My personal fondness for the 375 most stems from its great balance between power and shootability. Placed right, it'll kill anything on earth, and it's "relatively" mild to shoot, meaning it's easy to get accurate placement quickly. Because its an "all around" cartridge, you're free to spend a lot more on a platform.
Oh hell tagging for edit. I'm not typing all this on my phone in the bog. Brb.
GarandMarine:
Hmmm. I do like an all arounder, though I think it detracts a bit from my stated intent of making a dangerous game rifle. Now Larry at Midway obviously disagrees, and hunts all of Africa, dangerous game and plains game with his .375 H&H Mag, but there's something about a field artillery piece disguised as a shoulder fired rifle...
Decisions decisions....
