Federal still lists the Hydro’s on their website. I grabbed a couple boxes around the first of the year as they were on sale at Midway but I haven’t seen any online lately.
I have had a similar problem trying to find the 300gr TBBC Tipped for an upcoming hunt in October. They were on sale this summer, I should have snagged a couple of boxes. I gave up and am working up a load of both solids and expanding Peregrine 300gr bullets.
Maybe a call to Federal and ask the status? Could be they only do a yearly run of them like Winchester does with some of the less common calibers.

I ordered .375 H&H Hydro solids loaded by Double Tap. Worked great on my elephant.

I ordered 10 box of A frames last year when they came available. Seems every time I need them they are sold out!

I have no experience with the Swift Break-Away Solids, but they may be another option for you.

They sure must be proud of those @$170/box 20! But they are available for shipment...

Yeah, I noticed they were a little expensive.
Figure the bullet should at least field dress and quarter the game for that price.

I just contacted Federal Premium Ammunition about production of 375H&H 300gr Woodleigh Hydros.
This was the response I received.
Good Morning
We haven’t shipped that items since March 2018 – that went to Grice Wholesale
Currently we do not have that on the schedule for production.
Thank you
In short, they haven't made it in a year and don't plan on it.
I'm looking for a friend with a loader.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but Norma has 375 H&H in Woodleigh FMJ and Weldcore soft in 350g.

I looked on Hendershot's website and for the 375 H&H, all the Woodleigh bullet options were unavailable. I wondering if this has anything to do with Trump's tariffs and trade war with the rest of the world.

Looks like it's reloading time gents. Midway has the 375 Hydros available for a little over $3.00ea. The batch runs of "odd" calibers leads to this same situation almost every year and across every brand of manufactured ammo. Besides that reloading ammo that you will be using on game is almost as much fun as hunting itself.

I get it, I should reload...I know.
I don't have time for reloading, I have time to pull out my wallet and pay someone for their time.
I consider time my most precious commodity, and at this point in my life I'd rather spend it shooting instead of reloading.
I'm sure sometime in the future (when I'm retired) when I have more time I'll pick up reloading.
For now I'm at the mercy of suppliers.

Guess your not shooting woodleigh hydros then.
I have four kids, run a company with 40 employees, am fire chief of my local town Dept. You make time for what you care about and I can reload when I get up at 5 am or if I am up late at night.
I do it for the exact reason you are going through. Big bore not quantity high quality ammo. Takes no more than two hours to load total time to load 40-60 big bore shells. I have time to save that money.
Get into it.

I just got off the phone with Federal Ammo about the Cape-Shok 375 H&H Mag 300gr Woodleigh Hydro's (P375WH).
They will start production in mid-June.
I have been told it's due to the low demand of the product and that they currently have only 36 cases of it ordered.
Currently MidwayUSA is showing "no backorder" for this item, but I did confirm that they have an order placed with Federal.
