Load data 375 H&H 300 gr FMJ
Does anyone have any load data they are willing to share for Woodleigh 300 gr FMJ in 375 H&H? Powders I have available here are IMR 4320, Hodgdon Varget, and Hogdon H380. I might be able to get some other types in town but selection is not great. I saw something once published by woodleigh at 69 grains but lost my notes. I'm not looking for super high velocity something on the order of 2500 fps would match my other rounds. My 270 grain swifts clock 2530. Thanks for any assistance. Paul

I use 66.5 grains of IMR 4064 in WW cases with Fed 215 primers in all of my 300 grain loads. It yields an honest 2450 fps out of my 25 inch pre 64 Win 70. Hornady RN, DGX, DGS; Win Silvertip; Nosler Partitons

I use 70 grains in my 260 gn Nosler Partition loads that yields 2710 fps for comparison to your data.

I had really good luck with 78 grains of W760 and the Woodleigh 300 graing FMJ.

77-78 of 760 or H414 which is the same thing and just about any bullet is a fast track to .375 accuracy. Speeds are about what you're looking for.

My best load for a .375H&H solid is:

Remington Brass
300 Gr Woodleigh FMJ
76.0gr IMR 4831
CCI Magnum Rifle Primer

This load shoots the same point of impact in my Dakota bolt rifle as my 300 gr Barnes X Triple Shock load where I use 67.0gr of IMR 4064 vice the IMR 4831 for the solid load.
