Looking for load suggestions for 375 RUM with 300 grain North Fork softs and 300 grain North Fork flat point solids.

Contact John Koegler at North Fork. Hard to get
but very helpful. You may have to leave message on their machine. There will be from one to one and a half grain difference between the soft
loads and the solids. Solids will be less as they are bore riders, less bearing surface.
Suggestion, for maximum effect don't try to push
them at max speed, back off and find a load where they print together. Very effective bullets IMHO. Premium price but the best.

Good luck and good shooting.

i am working up loads now and will try the north forks this weekend. I have tried the 300 tsx so far with the 300 woodleigh solids and they were good. I think i was 7828ssc 100 grains with the tsx and 98.5 h4831sc with woodleighs both same POI. I will be trying 7828ssc and rl22 with north forks this weekend.
The tsx and the solids shot 3/4 inch at 2850fps

I shot the loads with the RUM today and confirmed with 300 tsx that 100 grains of 7828ssc was the best.they are not the fastest at just over 2800 fps but shoot basically one hole with five shots at 100 yards then shot the 300 wodleighs at the same target and end up with a 3/4 inch hole.
I tried the 300 north forks with 100 7828ssc and they were just over 2900 fps and shot good 1 inch or better so they are more than good for hunting. This is in my rifle and may be to hot or mild in yours but I think 7828ssc or h4831sc both produce great groups.Magpro also shot good but I think I am going to use 7828ssc
