I use the Speer 235s in my JDJ. Speer 250s too but they are slower to open up so you get more penetration. Also the Hornady 200 grainers made for the 375 Win.

I've shot lots of Contender and some Encores. Never the 375JDJ. The Sierra 200 gr FP sounds good to me. What does JD Jones recommend in the 15" barrel? I would at least look at his loads as he was the progenitor of that series of wildcats. I have used his data on the 44 mag. Good luck on the JDJ. It looks to have lots of promise. I just haven't had the chance to get one of everything. Even though it would be fun. Packy
JD Jones gives out data for the Sierra 200, Speer 235 and Hornady 220/225/270 bullets. I think he hunted with the 270 Hornady in his book.
I use the 270 now with 2520 behind it. Looking to go to a lighter bullet like the 220 Spire Pt Hornady, but it has left the line up. I’m thinking 235 Speer now, I guess.
