CB for 375 Ruger

[Barstooler]

I am looking at buying the NEI .375-310-GC or going to Mountain Molds and special ordering a 335gr GC for use in my 375 Ruger.

I can't see the advantage of going with lighter Lymann 375449 264gr GC.

I want something I can use for plinking and at the same time get close to the heaviest jacketed bullet I could use in this caliber.

Anyone here load the NEI 310 gr or heavier CB in the 375 Ruger?

We designed a 370gn LFN style at MM and get 2400 fps from the 375 Ruger and excellent accuracy.

Do you also sell the molds? I don't see any pricing on your molds

This is one I had Dan at MM spin for me. It is a 390gr with an 80% meplat. This is pretty much as heavy as you can go with Dan's software in the 375 caliber. It was designed for my 375 H&H CZ 550 but I would be happy to send you some samples to see if it will fit your boom stick. If I does I can send you the design sheet. I have it set up for light throat engagement when crimped in the groove. I have pushed it to 2250fps with duplex WC860 and the 375 H&H. Recoil is an attention getter and I don't particularly enjoy shooting it off the bench. I have shot it to 200yds with no sign of instability, at first I was concerned with the big meplat. So far I have only used it on one white tailed deer. Bang-flop.

I would say try the bullshop bullet, try mine, try some other designs. And when you find what features you like the people here can help you design exactly what you are looking for. I designed mine as a stopper for use under 100yds. The CZ safari rifles aren't really set up as long range rifles. Your situation may be different.

I use BRP's 310gr boolit in my 375 H&H. Shoots Very Well @2000 fps. About an inch @100yds

Guys thanks

I will try ordering some of the differnt heavy designs from BullShop and see which ones may shoot best. Then settle down to ordering a mold.

I am looking for something between 300 and ~ 360gr max.

You also might see if BRP will send you a few to try.
Bullshop has good boolits

take a look at the BRP 378-275 GC.

I have a Lyman 375449 mold on the way, can anyone recommend a start charge with Varget, H4350, IMR8208XBR, or H4831 in 375 Ruger African? I plan to cast ice water cooled wheel weights plus chilled shot.
