What bullet load data would you use for 300 gr. Silvertips in a 375 H&H. I am thinking any 300 gr bullet. Thanks
 
Vintage silver tips with aluminum tip or modern like the balistic silver tips?

If the latter I would use Nosler Balistic tip/accubond data.
Old ones with aluminum. I have about 130 in boxes.
 
Hi 1peggy,

The classic 300 grs 375H&Hmg load: from 78 to 80 grs of any of the 4350.
I use 80 grs with Hornady and Nosler P 300 grs. Winchester cases, magnum primers.
Get 2500/2550 f/s in my Winchester 70 pre 64 with its original 25" barrel.

Good luck!

Jack O'Connor printed loads of IMR 4064 for the 375 with both 270 & 300 grain bullets, but my preference is 4350.
 
There is nothing special about the old Winchester Silvertip bullets. I'd use any reliable data source for standard 300 gr. cup and core, non boattial, bullet. If jacket material, bearing length and weight are similar, you should expect similar results.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
