.375 JDJ help?!
I know I have tried this before but I really haven't gotten any replies. I know someone has had to try a 260gr. bullet in the .375 JDJ. I would like to know what loads you have tried.

I am working up loads for my 20" carbine and I can't figure out if my load data is in line or not. So far I have only worked with the 260gr. BT, but I will be trying the Accubond as soon as they become available.

I have tried H4895, R15, and AA2520.

Anybody have any load data with Reloader 15 with the 270gr. Hornady? That would be helpful also to figure out where I am!

Thanks all, I really need some help here! [Smile]

I use H4895 48.5 grains with the 260 grain Partitions. 48.0 grains with 270 grain bullets. My favorite hunting load so far (deer) is the 235 Barnes XLC with 51.0 grains H4895. Hope this helps.

Thanks Ken, you have always been the one coming through with data for me [Smile] ! I made it up to 49 with the H4895, but velocity wasn't near as good as with the AA2520 and Reloader 15.

Anybody else?

I'm partial to Varget. Start with 49.0 gr. and work up. I've gone as high as 53.0 for 260's., but don't use this as your highpoint, as it may be different.

Ok Jeff thats exactly what I was looking for. Reloader 15 should be almost exactly the same at Varget and I am also at 53 with no pressure signs.

Terrific, anybody else?
