375 H&H Pet reloads for DG & Plains for my first Safari

[Puddle]

My Buff handload that I rely on anywhere is based on a 300 grain A-Frame and H4350.
I load to just over 4,000 ft-lb ME, based on a 2,466 fps average MV. That MV is based on 10 consecutive rounds fired. I use H4350 for 2 reasons; the load is just over 93% load density that produces an SD in the low single digits, and the propellant is well known for its temperature insensitivity. Both Federal brass and magnum primers are used, though I've repeated the load with both Norma and W-W brass. Privi brass is next up for a tryout.

I use an IMR 4064, Barnes 300gr TSX combo loaded to about 2500 fps… great results on everything taken with it to date..

I’ve been thinking about switching powder to varget since 4064 has pretty much been impossible to find for 2 years…

Good choice, Varget is more temperature stable than our old reliable IMR powders.

I used 300 gr Nosler Partitions with CCI 250 and/or IMR 4350 or IMR 4064 as during Obamas time powder was scarce and it was what I had.
Would use the softer Nosler partition bullet on the lioness with as high a vel as you can safely achieve.
