has any one paperpatched any 375 cal.

looking for information on paper patch mold one piece style and any success shooting them through 375 Whelen or similar 375 calibers.

Yes I have. I have an NEI mold for a 280gn rn boolit intended for 9.3 mm cartridges that drops about .368" diameter. I patch it up for my 375 Whelen. I get 2400 fps with it and top notch accuracy.

I as well. I have an old Ideal mould made for the 9,3mm that casts out at .368". I patch it up to .377" and run them through my 375 Taylor. Works great from mild loads up to full throttle.

Say we musta went to different schools together!
BTW I think I may have that same Ideal mold. Mine is a 250gn FNPB. It looks exactly like the Lyman 250gn 375 FNPB. I figured that when the cherry for the 375 was sharpened to the minimum spec they ground it down for the 9.3

Yep, that mould is mighty useful for 375s, as is their one for the 348 Win is very good for 35 cals. When I happened across those two for sale I jumped on them and am glad I did.

I have done the same with 348 boolits. I used a Rapine 250gn for patching up for use in a 35 Whelen.
Yup different schools together.
There are actually several different combo's that work this way. 25 to 26 and 27 to 28 and so on.

Another handy one is .31 to 8mm.

The Lyman 375248 has been very accurate in a Marlin 375. I've patched it as cast and sized it to the needed .380. I've also sized the casting down to .370 and patched it up to full diameter. Both worked well as long as my alloys weren't much harder than quenched WW.

what is mould number NEI???

Yes I have. I have an NEI mold for a 280gn rn boolit intended for 9.3 mm cartridges that drops about .368" diameter. I patch it up for my 375 Whelen. I get 2400 fps with it and top notch accuracy.

I've paper patched various swaged bullets in 375 H&H. Leading is low, accuracy is good. Makes for comfortable shooting.

[OuchHot!]

Not quite the same but I have been paper patching 250g boolits intended for the 35Whelen up to fit my 9.3mm. The lube grooves don't seem to hurt. I cannot see why patching a 366 like the NOE or an Accurate boolit up to .375 would be any different.

Take a look at Accurate molds #37 - 285H plain based 9.3mm that has a listed .368" body dia.Robert

going to try out some paper patched bullet for first time in 375 this weekend. friend of mine got some loaded up and we are going to give it try. I hope the experience goes well.
