OrvarDifference in Identical 375 H&H from Federal
Was looking to restock on 375 H&H today, and on the Federal website, was confused as there are what I thought to be 2 identical rounds for the 375 H&H, both in 300gr TBBC.
After doing the compare function, I realized that the difference between the P375T1 and P375T3, is the P375T3 is loaded hotter / faster...
Now: when I go onto Midway, I found another "Federal Premium #: P375T2"... which has me really confused.
Has anyone else noticed this? Am I splitting hairs?
Any one know why all the Premium stuff seems to be on Back-Order until end of summer?

FjoldI don't know why there is a difference in the loads but the back order on the premium ammo is probably because the ammo manufacturers are dedicating all their production lines to load all the common cartridges that are in high demand now. The manufacturers aren't going to take their machines down to switch them over to load 375 H&H ammo while they're selling every bit of the common ammunition that they can load now.
There is always the Federal web site for info:

Use Enough GunFederal sells .375 ammo that is called Federal High Energy, as well as its regular federal loads. There is a difference in the two. Similar boxes, but the box will be marked High Energy, if it is indeed that. It's a little faster round. I use them all of the time in Africa.

SevensNo idea on the difference, but if you need 375 H&H TBBC, here is your website:

crbutlerOne is the standard velocity .375 (about 2450 FPS chrono in my rifle) with a 300 grain TBBC.
The examples I have of them was the standard loading was nickle cases.
The other is the high energy version.
The High energy ones had P375T3 on the flap, along with the words in smaller print "HIGH ENERGY" They had brass cases with the letters HE on the headstamp.
These chronographed at about 2630 FPS for me.
The standard had P375T1 without the high energy wording, otherwise the boxes were identical.
