What is your favorite .375 BULLET and what cartridge do you shoot it in and at what velocity & for what purpose?

300 grain Swift A-frame, This was a difficult choice as I dearly love my older TBBC's which Jack Carter made up for me. However, the in field on game peformance, the Swift stood up better for penetration issues on Buffalo. Velocity 2,500 ft/secs. Game under the Southern Cross.

Hands down, the Swift 300 grain A-Frame.

I have not been fortunate enough to go to Africa (yet), but have two friends that have. For both of them I loaded 300 grain Swift A-Frames for their 375 H&H rifles. They both had excellant results with that bullet.

In both their rifles this was the most accurate bullet tried by far. Groups of just about a half inch at 100 yards were possible. (With pretty low powered scopes.) Performance on game was great. Both shot buffalo with no problem. Both shot plains game because that is the rifle they had in their hand at the time. Performance was outstanding!!

Great bullet, I feel. If I ever get a 375 that is the bullet I will try to shoot.

North Fork 300 grain bullets in 375H&H have given me the best hunting bullet accuracy, and they preform perfectly on game.

For training/plinking I've used a ton of Hornady 220 GR FP (made for the 375win.) with excellent results. But this bullet must only be used for training, and not hunting in 375H&H velocities. It's dirt cheap, and has given me 3 leaf clover accuracy. As it has for several friends of mine too.

With limited experience I'm sold on the TBBC. The PH this year liked them as well. I think he mentioned the A-Frame as well.

300 grain TSX out of my 375 H&H or the 260 grain Partition out of the same gun.

255gr Bear Creek cast lead bullet in a 375 H&H, a Golden Eagle and a Rem 700 Safari.

Right now, I'm liking the 250 gr. Sierra GK lots. It's running 3050 fps from a .375 Webby and, so far, it's just punched paper. Intending to refine the ultimate bear-elk-moose flattener. But I'm just new to this diameter. So I may change my mind several times yet.

I loved the 300gr TBBC, even though they cost me an arm and a leg landed in RSA. Lately I use the (SA manufactured) 300gr Rhino, which is much cheaper, the same design as the TBBC, and a damn sight easier to get. Moly coated to boot.

I'm shooting a .375 H&H and it is just lovin' the 300 grain Barnes Triple shock. The load is 71 grains of Reloader 15 I have not chrono'ed it yet but it seems to be a mover and I've shot 3 shot groups that are a no BS .5". ( with an 8 power scope ). Have yet to kill anything with this load but I just might take a cow elk with it this year for somethin' to do. I think a cow elk is the closest thing to a Cape Buffalo that I'm going to be shooting for a couple more years!

235gr. Speer in my .375x 41. roger

My Rem700 has a simple rule ... feed it any 300gr RN and it shoots! Mostly gets fed local Taipans and Woodleighs.

Nosler Ballistic Tips, Accu Bonds, TBBC's & Barnes X for the premium bullets have all have worked well for me.

I like 300 grain bullets. They seem to me to get more exit wounds on the larger African Plains Game. All of the 260 grs., regardless of manufacture from my experience don't appear to me to get anywhere near the percentage of exit wounds as the 300's.

Having said that about premium bullets I've had just as good experience with both Sierra 300 gr. SPBT's and PMP 300 gr. Round Nose with sterling results. Currently I'm using up my supply of PMP's and eevn though a vanilla-flavored bullet have provided very good performance.

I have been having excellent success with the 250 grain "X" bullet ahead of 69.0 grains of IMR 4064. I have found with my gun at least, this load is more pleasurable to shoot off the bench sighting in than 250 grain "X" bullets out of my 340. JMHO.

270gr Barnes TSX in my .375 H&Hs. Super accurate.

All I can give you are my actual experiences on game and accuracy. While the 300gr Hornady RN shoots very well out of my rifle, I wouldn't use it on heavy, tough game. The 300gr TSX has also been extremely accurate, but the 300gr Swift A Frame is at the top of my list. Aside from being extremely accurate in my rifle, I've taken lots of game with it, up to a 2000lb eland and my friend used the same bullet to take a buffalo at 30 yards and a kudu at 350 plus. Can't get much better than that. jorge

I have 2 .375 H&H Mag they have 2 different twists , 1 has 1in10 The other is 1in12 , the 10 twist is great on 300 grain blts the 12 twist works great 270 , IMR 4350 for both, max loads from Hornady book

I had my recently acquired 700 out last weekend. I ran ten different loads with the Speer 235gr semi spitzers. Best load turned out to be 81grs of IMR 4831, an honest 3/4" 3 shot group @ 100yds off the bench using a 4X Leupold. Close second was 72grs of IMR 4895. This being my first experience with the 375 H&H I was quite happy. So at this point I'd have to say the 235 Speer.

Craigster, a sleeper is IMR 3031 with the 235, and Also IMR 4759 with a bit of Poly ticking... shoot's like a PPC.

308Sako,

Tried 3031, 4064, 4895, 4350, and 4831. Like I said, 4831 was the top performer with the 235 in this rifle. From what I understand 4064 is supposed to be the powder for the 375, but apparently not with 235's in this gun. So I was happily surprised with the 4831. That 4759 load sounds fun and I've got some, I think I'll give it a try. Thanks!

300grn SWIFT A FRAME gets my vote for safari use at around 2400- 2500fps.
