Joined the 3/8 inch club; any load favs?

Bill Jordan

Bought a Colt Sauer Grand Alaskan in .375 H&H, so I'm accumulating brass, dies, etc. and wanted to see if anyone had any pet loads for bench/target shooting.
I'm not planning an elk hunt; just want to shoot it a little.

Cast bullets OK in it? I was thinking of the Lee 250 grain fn, but I'll have to get sizing dies.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Bill, I loved shooting cast bullets in my 375 ouch and ouch. They are remarkably accurate, very potent game getters and offer a huge savings when you want to shoot a lot.

When I get home I will look at the records I have and send you some information on the loads I used. The 250 grain bullet is the king of cast projectiles for the 375.

235gr Speers backed up with 45gr of 4198. Easy on the sholder and the pocketbook.

Got the bullets; waiting for brass.
Was that IMR or H 4198?

It doesn't matter. The load is well below the 375 realm.
It will be comparable to shooting a 30-06.

MIKE WISKEY

260 gn nosler b.t. & 76.0 gns of rl-15 = dead elk

Thanks; when I get the brass, I'll let you know how it shoots.
