I have looked at Barnes reloading manual (#4?) and they did not publish a reload for the .375 Ruger with the 250 TTSX. I have a lefty Ruger Alaskan, and would like to hear anyones pet loads for this combination. Also, this is one of my first venture in reloading big bores. Do I need to crimp the bullet or will the sizing of the case be sufficient to hold the bullet in place under recoil? | ||

I contacted Barnes regarding the 250 TTSX for my 375H&H for the same reason. Their response was it was the same as the 250TSX data. | |||

You sir, will need a heavy crimp to keep the bullet in place. In my experience, the Lee Factory Crimp Die works wonders on the big bores and eliminates the chance for crushing/wrinkling the case due to over-crimping in your seating die. I called Barnes on this bullet for loading in the .375H&H and they said to split the difference between the 235 grain TSX and the 270 grain TSX. I really find it odd they've had these bullets available for so long but still do not have load data for it published. -John -John | |||

Bumped back up. I'm looking for some load suggestions as well. Got some loaded with some H4350 and RL15 right now but I haven't had a chance to go to the range yet. | |||

72.2gr of Varget will match the Leupold B&C reticle (set on the small triangle) out to 500yds. | |||

I hope to do some load testing for a 375 Ruger in June. Any advice is appreciated, too. +-+-+-+-+-+-+ "A well-rounded hunting battery might include: 500 AccRel Nyati, 416 Rigby or 416 Ruger, 375Ruger or 338WM, 308 or 270, 243, 223" -- Conserving creation, hunting the harvest. | |||
