I have a great .375 H&H load for whitetails, blacktails, black bear and hogs. I have used Remington brass and have had no problems, don't know about Winchester brass. Lonnie Hummel at Hornady said the 225 grain Hornady spire point has the same jacket thickness as the 270 grain spire point. The only problem is the 225 grain may lack the penetration desired for brown bear up close. With the HUNTING load, trajectory is similar to a .308 with a 150 grain bullet.

Winchester brass is adequate and cheap. Have not used Remington. Yes that is a great price on the accubonds. I think I will pick up a box or two . The Hornadays are fine for what you are planning to use them on. You can often find factory seconds or cosmetic blems for very little money. I bought up a thousand 270 gr Hornaday SP and 500 RN for just that purpose a few years ago. Re 15 seems to be prime powder for the 270 gr bullet. For deer slow it down a bit. You will not need full throtle loads as you will just blood shoot a bunch of meat. I also have found that a 200 gr FN or RN bullet meant for the 375 winchester works very nicely for a low recoil deer and hog load. You can load it anywhere from 2000 to 2600 with good results and little recoil. It seems Sierra and Hornaday make a bullet in 200-225 weight that are sure enough for small southern whitetail. For the larger northern variety I would use the 260-270 gr. In BIG bear country I would use 300 gr SAF or Barnes just in case. Good hunting. "D"

Where are you buying Accubonds for $15.95? Will you share your source?

Jackfish,
I had been shying away from such a light bullet. However if it's tried and true, then Im game to try it. What type of volisity are you getting with you load?

I'm getting 2850 fps from my Winchester Classic Stainless. 225 grains may be light for a .375 H&H but it has the same sectional density as a 150 grain .308" with 50% more mass. This load hits about as hard as a 338 Winchester Magnum within 150 yards, hardly light for whitetails, blacktails and hogs.
