375 Flanged MAGNUM

[Frank375]

Does anyone have any load data they might share with me on the 375 H&H flanged magnum?

I believe @Kevin Peacocke has a formula that he likes.

Give @tarbe a minute to get his rifle back and he will have all kinds of info for you, he probably has 10 different loads already worked up to try

Thank you.

I am loading mine with 77 grains of Vihtavuori N160, Norma cases, Federal 215 Large Magnum Rifle and Hornady DGX Bonded.

What velocity are you getting?

What velocity are you getting?

It would probably help to know what grain bullet he’s shooting also.

A 300 gr.DGX I would imagine.

 

[KJE81]

What velocity are you getting?

About 2430 fps or 739 mps using a Caldwell chronograph. The bullets are 300 grains DGX as you guessed. My double rifle has 24 inch barrels.

 

[Frank375]

Thank you very much for your time and info.

Only two. I've been busy with other things!

Like trying to figure out how to dodge CBDCs and the WHO takeover of pandemic management!

Hi Frank and BeeMaa, i am sorry I don't have anything reliable, but I hope you came right. What rifle are you shooting this in?

A Krieghoff.Kevin,you gave me a load from your reloading person of 78,3 grs. of Vitavouri N560 with a Woodleigh 300 gr. bullet at 2381 Fps. velocity.

I have quickload, and would be happy to run some numbers for you. Just let me know what powder/bullet combinations you have.

Presuming one could get any powder, what would be the best for a 300 grain bullet to 2400 fps with the least recoil? 24 inch barrel, 25 degrees C? I only have VV N565 at the moment as I said on the other post, but perhaps it is quite suitable?

I don’t have much experience with this caliber, I load for it, but my barrel hasn’t been delivered yet, so no actual experience yet. That being said, the woodleigh manual recommends R15 as the “standout” performer. I would also assume any slower powder that fills the case and attains the velocity you want would also work well, such as your N565.

 

[Frank375]

f For the least amount of recoil I believe IMR 4064 or Reloader 15 would be good as they show the least amount of grains to reach 2400 fps. but I can't find either one.I am going to start with 70 grs. of H4350 as soon as I get my rifle back from JJ Perodeau

 

[Frank375]

Speaking of Woodleigh manuals,does anyone know where I might find one?

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

So as a general rule the least amount of powder of a fast burning sort gives least recoil?
