Now I know that this sounds ridiculous from the title, but hear me out. What are the load possibilities for this cartridge for extraordinarily light bullets and shorter barrels? I'm curious to know how it would do with .357 magnum bullets turned way up out of say a 10-15" barrel. Could this be...

I finally found it using the way back machine! Some have in the past questioned me with my use of 52.0 gr of Win 296 under a 200 gr .452 FTX bullet in this cartridge. I had the data on a printout, but lost it in a move some years ago. The link solely for research purposes...

Does anyone have a good loads for the Encore pistol (15" barrel) with a 150 grain bullet or greater? I've been to the Hodgdon tables, but I'm now looking for real world information.

So thanks to the hearty enablers here in the forum I have increased my power level from .300 Winchester Magnum to first .375 Holland and Holland and then .458 Lott. My question is: Once you get comfortable with that higher level of power, how do you rationalize dropping back down to something...

How many of you actually have and use what I call hand loading tools for loading a favorite cartridge? Perhaps it's a Lee Classic Loader Kit or a Lyman Ideal 310 or maybe even something older and more unique. What do you use? Do you have any tips or tricks for these type loaders? Currently I...

In another thread I came across a gentleman who had an 1885 High Wall in .35 Whelan. This got me thinking about one in .375 H&H. Winchester apparently made one in very limited numbers. A search of the interwebs comes up sparse with everything sold and none for sale. Does anyone know anything...

I'm using Hornady Custom red box dies, Lee shell holder #4, Lyman Case lube. The issue I am having is that the die is sticking no matter how much or how little lubricant is used. There is something going wrong at full seating. With or without the expander plug and decapping assembly in place I...

With this happening I am left to wonder about the quality control. Surely it should improve again and maybe we can have an American made lever action rifle that is worth writing home about. I surely don't know what caliber I'd buy other than maybe a .357, but it sure would be nice to go out a...

Looking for a .375 H&H Lee Loader Kit. Yes I realize I am late to the game by about 20 years or more. Does anyone have one they are looking to sell or be rid of? Thanks for reading.

What exactly would it take to build a .375 for extended firing and hard use? I am thinking along the line of an upscaled K98 or 1903 Springfield. How would one go about this? Could it be done? Just how hard could you push such a rifle before it would become unserviceable? I read about Capstick...

Hello All, So I have this really great rifle that I struggle with: a Ruger No. 1 in .458 Lott. I am toying with a 400 grain load in order to get in more practice with the rifle. I have a lot of W748 and would like to use that. I have tried 80.0 grains loaded to the cannelure. It was very...

How low can you go? Apparently I can get away with a 30mm VX-3I 4.5-14x40 mounted low in Warne QD rings. It comes up pretty good and I love the clarity. Pretty good light gathering on 4.5x. For the first time in my life I have a rifle with two scopes and open sights. I'm not sure how long it...

I am searching for a ball powder to use in my .458 Lott pushing 500 grain bullets for practice. H335 and varget are on either side of it on the burn chart so why can't I use CFE223? What part of the bus am I missing here? There is no data on the .458 and CFE 223 it stops at .375 H&H and 200/235...

So I was riding home from work today with my wife and the comment was made about toys I had purchased. We were talking about powder and not shopping in stores for it right now. I commented how I was looking for some 760 and how it was a good powder for .375's. "We don't have a .375 do we?" "No...

Let's discuss the details of a proper speed test between rifles. I'd like to see the difference between actions. There's been a great deal of talk about being fast and keeping up with bolts or doubles. Just how much of it is hot air? I'm interested in seeing how quickly I can get hits with real...

I did a search of the forum and found nothing about this cartridge. Does anyone have any insight? This came up during a reading of Terry Wieland's Dangerous Game Rifles. He paints it in a favorable light. I wonder if it would be a fun round to chamber in a No. 1 Ruger? Presumably you could load...

Has anyone pulled apart their favorite factory loads and measured the powder charge and type in order to recreate a favorite load? I'm getting ready to do so on some PPU .375's as my Model 70 really loves the 300gr RNSP load. It shoots it very well so I thought I'd buy components and duplicate...

....after having drooled over it since I was a kid and catalogs were folded pieces of paper. I used to memorize the leaflets for the various manufacturers and one which always stuck out in my mind was the Ruger catalog with the No. 1 Tropical. Something about the large calibers just got me...

Good Day to All, I have recently acquired a .375 H&H No. 1 rifle. It may need some work other than basic cosmetic. What would you upgrade in this model of rifle? I am heavily tempted by the Jard Trigger and considering the Wolff XP hammer spring. Please advise. Many Thanks, FH
