I am looking to develop a 375 H&H load with the 276 HHT in my CZ 550.

Powders I have readily available:

Bechmark
Ball C
CFE 223
Varget
IMR 8208 XBR
H4350
Superformance
And a bunch that are likely too slow burning.

Please share what you have.
 
I've had good luck with Reloader 15 and a 275 grain CEB Safari Raptor. That powder may work well with the Hammer. I've had good results with Hammer bullets on plains game. I'd like to see how they perform on Buffalo.
 
I use 299gr Stone Hammers along with CFE223. I have two rifles in 375H&H, one a M70 Safari and the other Blasewr R8. Both shoot MOA with the same load. I’m getting 2550 - 2600fps.
 
If you call or email Steve Davis, owner of Hammer Bullets, he will help you. I have called a couple times, incredibly good customer service. Very likely he has a few loads that could get you well on your way.
 
use the 281 gr Stone Hammer data. The 276 is only 0.046" longer.

Steve's guidance will be "start at the bottom, proceed in 0.5 gr increments until you see signs of pressure."
 
In my 375H&H I get the best velocity and groups with AR2209 (H4350). This is in all bullet weights. Except when using the Woodleigh Hydros as they are tool long and use to much powder space in the Rem 700. I use AR2206H (H4895) for that. Still has same POI as the other 300grain bullet loads. I might give BM8208 (8208XBR) a try.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
