jackfishI shoot the .375" 225 grain Hornady Spire Point in my 375 H&H over 70 grains of H4895 in Remington brass with a CCI 250 primer. Should be about what you are looking for. Maximum is 74.8 grains according to Hornady.

blackbearhunterI worked up to 68gr.of H4895 today with no pressure signs and recoil was user friendly.My manuals all have other loads/speeds beside the 225gr.hornady.
My Hodgdon book shows............... 210gr.bullet-67.5gr.H4895=2865fps
235gr.bullet-69.0gr.H4895=2743fps.
225gr.bullet-68.0gr.H4895=??????
What is my speed for the 225gr./68.0- H4895
Iam trying to work up to/duplicate in my 375HH- the 376Steyr 225gr.Hornady Factory load which is 2600FPS
Seems like it would be a good all round/fun Load that should take care of anything around here.

Would you say iam there now?Also at these speeds,How many times can i safely reload my brass?This is the first time/cherry

i have ever reloaded the 375H&H.Thats why all the questions..
Thanks in advance!
