375 H&H suggestions

[shell70634]

I have a Mod 70 in 375 H&H and would like suggestions for a CB design and loading for hunting. for fun shooting? What do you load and shoot? I have no 375 molds yet so I'm open to anything. My jacketed ammo a little stout for plinking.
I've also thought about paper but have never done it before. This may be the one to try it on.

I use the Lyman 375449 for my 375 H&H and my 38-55 over a light load of Unique. Kills tin cans just fine.

I use #375449 with 13 grains of either Bullseye, Red Dot or 700X. No gascheck or filler is needed, approximates .38-55 blackpowder velocity 1200-1300 fps. Pleasant, fun accurate and effective.

Have you considered a cast or swage paper patch bullet. 375 h&h does very well with that as well.

NOE has several nice options... 378-235 RF is a Ranch Dog design that works great through 375 Wins, 38-55s with tighter throats/bores, and as a light-weight in 375 H&H it is fully capable as a plinker or medium game thumper.
The 379-279 FN is basically the previously mentioned 375449 cut with NOE's precision and is hard to beat for an all-around choice.
The 378-275 FN is AL's version of the excellent BRP design, and has worked well in several 375s for me... (Always develop your own data for your own firearms) A caseful of surplus W872 with this cast in a 24" barrelled 375 H&H gives me 2375-2400 fps, with <1.5" 100 yard accuracy... more than I'll ever actually need.

Thanx for the input. I got my first NOE mold last week and it is great. I will probably order the NOE 379-279 FN. Still need to accumulate some brass.

I use the Lyman 375449 for my 375 H&H over IMR 4198 it is a great paper punch.

[Bull Shoals]

I use Lyman 375449 over 33 gr of AA5744, WLR, Hornady case, 3.445 OAL. This gives 1820 FPS chronographed. Same bullet and primer over 24 gr 4198 chronographs at 1354 FPS. All bullets are Lino sized .377. Hope this helps.

Or try 13 Gr. of WST, SR-7625. Or 15 Gr. of Unique or WSF. Finally try 18 Gr. of Herco. No fillers needed for any of these loads, Mag. primers may help some of these loads. Other powder loadings are 20 - 24 Gr. 2400, 30 - 32 Gr. IMR -3031, 21 - 24 Gr. IMR - 4227 and 20 - 23 Gr. Blue Dot powder these will give in the range of 1500 - 1700 Fps with standard primers and no fillersRobert
