Anyone have any load info for 375 H & H with 220 gr bullets.
Thank you!

Not specifically 220s, but this should get you started :

Thank you!!

Bob,

I don't know if you're looking for a light plinking load or something faster but I'll offer a light load that I use with Speer 235's.

45 grns. of H4895 with a standard primer. I put 2 grns. of Dacron filler in as well.

I was looking for a light "hunting" load. Thank you your 235g load.

I've had great luck with 47 grains 5744 and magnum primer in the 375. Pigs, deer, and a recent cow elk. It's a great moderate distance, low recoil load. At 2200 fps or so, the bullet expands but holds together well. Bob

Bob,
Is that with a 220 g bullet?
Thank you!

Yep, Hornady 220 gr flat point made originally for 375 Winchester. You can shoot them must faster, but I'd be worried about over-expansion. At 125 yards or so, 2200 fps is plenty and bullet stays intact. Bob

I have killed several deer and some pigs with the Hornady 220FP in a 375 H&H. It is a great bullet if you do not drive it to fast.

I have used 2 different loads depending on the particular 375 H&H rifle.

I have used either 60gr of IMR 3031, or 64gr of IMR 3031, as these were the most accurate load for the particular rifle.

So I recommend you start with 60gr of IMR 3031 and work up to 65gr and pick the most accurate load.

The Hornady 220FP bullet works great, as does the Speer 235gr SP with IMR 3031 in the same 60 to 64gr range.

Thank you both Bob and NE 450 No2!!!!
The info is great and exactly what I was looking for. I've liked 3031 for about 4 decades in smaller cal. and have even used it in 450BPE in nitro for black loads.
Thank you!!!

60 grains of IMR 3031 and my Sako were made for each other
