Lawdog_Gary.375 Weatherby Magnum
Does anyone have any load data for the .375 Weatherby Magnum? Looking to start reloading for it and having trouble finding any information.

RIPMy favorite:
Winchester brass fire formed.
F215 primer
88.0 grains of IMR-4350
Any 300 grain bullet you want
24" velocity 2700 fps
Or use 90 grains of the same powder and any 270 grain bullet for 2900 fps, same brass and primer.

NitromanThere are different dimensions on this cartridge. Check which you have by a chamber cast. For example see Barnes and A-Squares manuals.

dan belisleAlso make sure you have the Wby freebore. It makes a big differance in the loads you can use. - Dan

John SMy 375Wby is a custom gun and does not have the typical Weatherby freebore, and yet it delivers 2700+fps with safe pressures. Start at max 375H&H loads and work up carefully from there and you should not have any problems. I'd suggest R19, H4350 and IMr4831 in that order as good powders to start testing.
