The only bullet that I have used in my 375 w/Unique is the Badman 230gr. Sized properly, it is quite accurate and very mild recoil. Sustained fire w/o leading is very good.

200gr lead boolit w/4.0 TiteGroup is very soft. Will cycle a 1911 w/standard spring.

Fired 30rds at 100yds using the 230gr Badman Flat-Base Bullet sized at .379" and 9.0/Unique w/WLR primer. This is an 1194fps mouse fart load. Groups ran well under 2" C-t-C for 5 shots. This would...

Would it kill them? Yes. Would it be my first choice? No.

Have killed them with a 128gr 45cal lead round ball with 60gr FFg behind it. But, that isn't my first choice either. Energies are likely a...

I can purchase a .379" flat base bullet in a 230gr or 250gr with a 96/2/2 alloy. With a .060" poly wad under the 230gr I can get very good accy in the 1870-1940fps range. Have not fired the 250gr...

Marlin 336

Will kill deer as dead as dirt to 150yds, very efficiently. Strong action, time-proven design. Low-recoil cartridge that is flexible for light/heavy loads.

Am going to mention my sizing/loading procedure. For sizing, my expander is the .376/.380 expander from Buffalo Arms. Although my bore is precisely .3750/.3755 (Shilen Select barrel), we decided to...

Thanks DGNY, but I have a lot more questions than answers. Will be honest in my findings however. There is darned little hunting load data out there on the 375 Winchester and you must hunt around for...

More testament to lead bullet killing power that just came to mind.....

In the middle 70's I owned a T/C Cherokee rifle in 45cal. My accuracy load was a round ball w/patch and 60gr of FFg black...

Yeah, am cheating here. Have a 1.75-6X VX-III mounted.

This slings the 220gr H-bullet real well with a stiff load of R7 as well as the 265gr cast bullet with a gas check. The latter puts out some...

Assuming for a handgun cartridge? Not sure there is any empirical data that exists. But, from a technical standpoint, the M die gives you a nice flat seating surface and should be more consistent.

Though I have shot a fair quantity of deer/bear/elk using centerfire rifle and pistols, have taken a fair number using full diameter cast bullets in muzzleloaders. Never once recovered a Maxi-Ball...

Larry Gibson, I was talking with my friend today and he says that he has some 20-1 lead/tin that he can cast for me. How could one expect that to expand (or survive) going through an elk shoulder or...

OK, shot the 230gr .379" bullet (92/6/2) with 28.5-31.0 of RL-7 using the .060 LDPE wad under the base. Velocities ran 1818, 1857, 1872, 1890, 1919 and 1943fps. Leading began to appear about 4"...

Have killed a ton of deer/bear/elk since '72 with muzzleloaders and most of those were with pure lead bullets from 45-58 caliber. If I were using one of those for big game, I can draw on enough...

A good friend has been using paper patched 9+1 alloy in his 358 since God made dirt. He loooves high shoulder shots on northern WI whitetails and has yet to recover a slug that starts out at 2200fps....

2/6/92?

9+1?

Lyman #2?

What is your preferred alloy for hunting deer/bear at muzzle velocities of 1300-1800fps for 100-250# critters within 100yds (and hopefully a LOT closer)?

Going to switch gears after some further reading and advice.

Looking at a simple UNIQUE load under the bare 230gr Badman Flat Base bullet, just as a plinker. Want a deadly "Big 22LR" load. The...

Revisited the 265gr GC load with the same lot of R7. The difference this time was that one 5-shot string used the .379" bullet from Western Bullet. That grouped into 2" at 100yds and clocked 2017fps....

To give you a point of reference, the throat on my #1 as chambered is such that as loaded with the Hornady 220, the OAL of the loaded round when touching the lands is 2.56 inches. If I seated another...

Now that I have settled 5 miles as the crow flies from the best shooting facility west of the Mississippi River it is time to play with my 375 once again.

The load for my 265 grain gas check...

Run5Run, appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me.

Presently, my .375Win has a Shilen barrel that they "guarantee" is so close to .3750" groove diameter that you could test the accuracy of...

I appreciate that info. What exactly does that mean...I am a rookie when it comes to cast booolits.

Right now, my friend is casting an alloy that he calls 9+1. Have sent him an email to clarify....
