Been shooting my 375 Whelen last couple of days, this load seems to show to be very promising! After reading that AA 4000 was the 375 Whelen powder I looked at the burn rate chart and saw H380 was just one above it. Loaded 49.2 grains over a 288 gr. GC boolit, got 3 touching and 1 above after 2 clicks up on the scope. Might need a click or 2 right @ a 100 yards!

That looks great, especially from that powerful of a load.
Good shooting- tell us about your rifle please.

That's pretty incredible! What did you build it out of?

325878 it’s a 1951 M70 Winchester I had rebored to 375 Whelen by JES with a Bishop stock. The gun started out 30’06 of course, but have found little favor for the venerable 30 caliber cartridge as I’m a metric nut.

If the right deer are all lined up, you can probably fill your tags with one shot…….[emoji106]
JES sure does good work!
