I have been trying for 6 or 7 months to get some Remington brass for a 375 H&H and can't find any. Cabela's has reordered it time and time again. Hornady is available and on sale, but I have read some bad reviews. Any ideas?
I think you will find both Remington and Winchester are focusing all their manufacturing on loaded ammo, so reloading components will not be available for some time. I have been looking for 375H&H brass for 2 years, Norma is available, but I think it is too soft for reloading. The Hornady brass I have in 458 Lott, 416 Rigby and 500NE all are performing well, no complaints from me.
Cheers.

I have Hornady brass in 7x64 Brenneke, .416 Rigby, .300 H&H and (waiting on a batch from Midway) .280 Remington. In each case, no pun intended, I have had to chamfer the fool out of new brass to get it to chamber (after touching up the neck in the depriming die). Once fire-formed, no troubles. I do NOT "push envelopes", FWIW.

I wouldn't be afraid to use Hornady brass.
Brass tends to stretch a lot due to cartridge design in the 375 H&H Magnum. For this reason, I've found it more cost effective (unless I get a really good deal) to use Norma brass for it. Norma brass is more durable than Remington brass.

Agreed. Remington H&H brass fireformed to .375 Wby and PFL sized thereafter lasted for far less reloads than other offerings. Case head separations for my rechambered Brno. I originally picked the Rem brass because the factory load (brass) was longest.
Just curious here... everybody seems to want to overlook the Prvi brass... the price is pretty good, it's got good availability (Powder Valley lists it in stock as of a few minutes ago) and if my experience with it in 9.3x62 is an indicator, it is very good quality.
A good job is sometimes just a series of expertly fixed fark-ups. Let's see.... is it 20 years experience or is it 1 years experience 20 times? And I will have you know that I am not an old fart. I am a curmudgeon. A curmudgeon is an old fart with an extensive vocabulary and a really bad attitude.

If you can find Norma brass, buy and use it. It's been great for my .375 H&H reloads. Typically I find Norma some of the most consistent brass within the same batch. Probably different in the USA but my first batches of brass were from factory ammo as here in NZ at the time there was little difference in cost between new, unused brass and factory ammo.
Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

My 375 h&h hornaday brass had case head seporation on the third loading. Same load with Norma have lasted 9 loadings so far. I do have a long chamber and they do require trimming after the third loading.

Three?!! Do you PFL resize? what load? That is severe.
I have had great luck with the Privi brass. I kept track of one batch that lasted 8 reloads. Accuracy was also excellent. I got it from Graf & Sons. I have also used the Privi 9.3 x 62 brass with good results.
Some of my Norma brass have been fired about 6 times. After about 3 firings, I started to trim. Now I "trim" it each time, it will or it will not cut anything, just put to trimmer and try. I use Forster dies for Full Lenght sizing and bullet seating and Lee factory Crimp die for crimping. After 6 firings, sizing, cleaning and polishing, you can hardly say if it is brand new or used. Primer pockets still tight etc.
