Looking for info for a mold and such,, or data for what you have on hand?

45Nut,
That's some pretty impressive hardware. I'm looking for mold and load data. I've got the .375 H&H T/C rifle barrel. I went on a hunt with T/C on the Nail Ranch and borrowed Larry Weishuhn's .375 to hog hunt. It was a hoot, so I decided to snag one for myself.

My most favorite mold for 375 is an LBT for a 350gn LFN-GC design.
A 100% dencity load with H 4831 this boolit seated to engrave gives right at 2000 fps give or take depending on which gun its fired from.
Shoots as good as the individual gun will shoot.
350gn LFN at 2000 fps muzzle will handle anything on earth.

I use the Lyman 375449 which casts out at 270 gr with a 60/40 alloy of WW/linotype. I size them at .377" and use Hornady GCs and Javelina lube. My pleasant load is 36 gr of 5744 (no filler) for 1860 fps and excellent accuracy. My practice load is 50 gr of 4895 with a 1 gr dacron filler for 2200 fps. Accuracy with both loads is 1.5-2 moa all day long. My M70 only wears a 2.5X scope so I am satisfied with that. I would not hesitate to hunt deer/elk/B bears with that load as it equals or exceeds the .375W.

I also use the Lyman 375247, a PB 250 gr bullet, cast very soft for 1300 fps loads. A lightly lubed (LLA) .375 RB over 4 gr of Bullseye runs 900 fps and is very accurate at 50 yards. It is my grouse/ptarmigan load.

My 375 Taylor loves the NEI 300gr. roundnose bore rider. HT-Q then anneal the nose, load over a case full of AA3100 to 2200 fps and it's mighty effective. Should do the same thing out of a H&H.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. As soon as I recover my cash from recent WW and lino acquisitions I'll try to trade for some moulds.
