You've found a great hobby and supplement to you shooting. be I've been reloading since 1968 or so and I've found it to be perfect for getting odd and old caliber rifles to the range and into the field.

Interesting. I had considered using the 250-grain polymer tipped Hornady CX bullet this last trip. I spent a few weeks off and on between other trips working up a good load for it, but in the end, I didn't get to where I wanted to be accuracy wise with the bullet. My rifle seems to prefer the...

Before leaving for Africa last month, I posted a thread on working up a load for this year's buffalo hunt. It was a grain less of Varget powder than last year's load. Thread: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/barnes-375-grain-stx.106051/ The result in Africa was very positive. This was...

Send me a PM please.

I used the Barnes 300 grain STX in my Remington Model 798 375 H&H last year with excellent results on Cape Buffalo and Warthog. For this year's hunt, I am using the same bullet again on another Buffalo hunt. While confirming the zero with the new reloads, I was very happy to get several 1 MOA...

Best of luck on your safari!

Thanks for all the answers. I've used Varget for most of my 375 H&H loads in the past. I'll start with the usual caution using Varget to start with and work up. I have a good Leupold 30mm scope on the rifle with good repeatable adjustments. I'll keep that 11 clicks (I assume at 100 yards...

I'm still working up loads for this year's safari. I just received a couple of boxes of the Hornady 375 caliber 250 grain CX (Copper Alloy Expanding) polymer tipped bullets. Has anyone used this bullet and if so: what do you think? Game this year will be mostly plains game, but I may take a...

I'd like to write my first post and introduce myself. I grew up in Colorado and in the 60s, it was a great place to hunt and roam around in. I'm now in Washington State following my retirement from the army. Over the years, I've shot competitively on military and police teams, and I have...
