airgun1Hornady Data for 300 gn 375 H&H
Does anyone have a Hornady reloading manual with data for 375 H&H using IMR 4064 and Hornady 300 gn DGX bullets?
I tried loads of 66.0 gns which yielded 2429 fps
and 66.5 gns which yielded 2447 fps
This was out of a 25 inch factory pre 64 Win 70.

Sagebrush BurnsI believe Hornady has load data on their web site.

airgun1I am by no means an expert, just barely computer literate, but I think they only list updates to current manuals. I tried there before asking here.
I had load data from a previous 375 H&H with a Douglas barrel, with those loads. They are way over every manual/ website that I have tried, except Sierra. My primers were pretty flat, with the machining marks from my bolt face imprinted; my Marlin 336 in 30-30 impresses factory Win ammo in the same way, but not as flat.

R FlowersThe Hornady Manual #9 shows loads for the 375 H&H using the 300 grain DGX and DGS bullets.
When using IMR 4064 they list a minimum load of 52.3 grains for a velocity of 2100 fps. For a maximum load they list 68.7 grains at a velocity of 2500 fps.
They show a COL of 3.560". They fired these loads in a Remington Model 700 with a 24 inch barrel.
