Hi Peeps Just downloaded the 375 H+H with 40gn RL7 220gn Hornady FP. The MV is 1971 fps and energy 1998 fpe. Zero @ 25m and 100 beyond that she drops like a brick. Consider it a massive 243  The lower shot is the initial sighter which I always take at 25m. the next two ie zero are @ 25 and 100m. Very accurate round so no need to shoot groups for this excercise. To go to full power load just add 8 clicks up - what could be simpler Mark Hunting is getting as close as you can, shooting is getting as far away as possible. | ||

OFS! FWIW, Hornady and Speer have several downloaded recipes using their 220 and 235 grain bullets, respectively. This load is classic. Many thanks.  | |||

Mark, I think you have done this exactly right. Not to mention that you have a terrific load for whitetail, and very little felt recoil if you rifle is of sufficient weight. | |||

Cheer Guys. Here in the UK the response was just - 'why'. Its a pity they are not as open minded about calibre versatility as yourselves. Mark Hunting is getting as close as you can, shooting is getting as far away as possible. | |||

Not much! Looks like a winner, I may even try it out. I've never considered reduced loads in my H+H before.

I use 5744 in my 375H&H and 416 Rigby. 50gr under a 300gr. Hrn RN gets you about 2200 in the H&H. 55gr under a Speer 350gr. gets you about 2000 in the Rigby. That's a M70 w/ 24" tube and a RSM w/ 23" tube, respectively. Those are the max. charges recommended by Accurate BTW. The H&H recoils like a 270 and the 416 like a lightish '06. Very accurate as well. David | |||

I just notice that target is CM, not inches. Impressive, yes, like a big 243. So it is true; all one needs is a 375H&H | |||

I use my 375 H&H on East Texas deer and find it very enjoyable. The deer don't seem to recognize that they have been hit by a sub-2000 fps bullet. I also down-scale loads for my .348 Winchester model 71. Enjoy that just as much. All my E-TX hunting is where shots are under 100 yards.
