    .375 JDJ cast bullet loads

    Hello all new to this site, it came highly recommended from a buddy of mine. Is anyone shooting cast out of .375 JDJ in a SSK Contender barrel? If so what bullet are you using and where can I get some? Just want them mainly for paper punching.
    Any info will be greatly appreciated. I did a search and found nothing.
    Thanks and happy shooting
    Mitch

    I'm unsure why your search didn't produce results. I just tried and got lots of hits.
    Slug your throat/neck and groove...Lots of info in the "Stickies" about that, and detailed info about how and why.

    SSK had their own mould designs being cut years ago. I imagine they still do.... Walt, of NEI, did a bunch a long time ago.
    Try searching here again. There's plenty to read over.

    Good luck.

    I don't have a JDJ but do shoot a 375 winchester BB94. I think you are asking about buying bullets, can't really help there other that to post a "want to buy" in the buying and selling forum. But, if you are willing to cast, this mold is very inexpensive and casts a good boolit easily. It comes out about .379dia.

    11 grains of unique over any cast 250-ish ( ish because honestly there's not much difference between 250- 255 grains and they may not cast that exact weight anyways depending upon alloy ) is both my fire forming load and my paper punching plinker load , seat to the lands for best results , you can work up a bit higher if you wish but i've found no need ( paper doesnt take much killing .... and the accuracy is there )
    for thumper loads suggest sticking to jacketed projectiles ( which data for abounds or can be had very very cheaply from ssk or in a few,notably hornady's, manuals ) , 4895 is the best powder for this with aa2520 coming in a very very close second
