I use Swift 300Gr.Aframes on everything using Remington or Winchester brass.78 1/2 grains of WW760 and CCI 250 Magnum primers.This load gives in my rifle almost 100fps more than factory ammo specs.ALWAYS START A BIT LOWER AND WORK UP! I've used this load on pretty near everything from Red Duiker to Lion and Hippo--it really works well!

If you're not afraid of compressed charges, I've found that the best powder for the .375 H&H is H4350 (that's Hodgdon 4350 -- not to be confused with IMR 4350, which is, in my opinion, a lesser powder). With 270 gr. bullets I use 82.5 or 83 grains, and with 300 gr. bullets I use 81 or 81.5 grains. (Those are given as max. loads in Hodgdon's loading manual). I use Winchester brass and Winchester WLR (non-magnum) primers. These loads are also quite accurate -- I frequently get 3-shot groups of about 1/2 in. with the 270 gr. Speer boattail or the 300 gr Sierra boattail bullets. Also, the velocities I get tend to be about 150 f.p.s. greater than those given in most loading manuals as max for these bullets. (I use a Remington 700 Limited Classic .375 H&H with a 24 inch barrel.)
