It certainly looks impressive. The quoted velocity is higher than what is available in factory .375 H&H cartridges, yet the round fits into a standard length action. This will result in a shorter trimmer rifle, but I am sure it would be more pleasant to shoot if it was loaded to or slightly below .375 H&H levels. If they can keep the cost of brass down it is sure to be a big seller.
Essentially a Dakota clone... 375 H+H performance in a beltless case (perfect for shorter "long" actions such as the Ruger long action).
I am going to have one built once brass becomes readily available. I'll use a Rem 700 Stainless action, McMillan Swirly Mtn Rifle stock, and top it off with a VXII 2-7x33 in Talley rings... should weigh @ 8.5lbs all up.
Not sure why I need one yet, but....

While the new generation of short mags, Wizzums and Rums haven't interested me in the slightest, this new .375 has my attention.
The only concern I have is that there may be some pressure issues. The numbers look a bit too good, given the available case capacity. If they can do what they claim while staying somewhere south of 60,000 psi, I'd be delighted.
