375H&H reloading

[Carterhunts1205]

Looking for a good load for 375H&H

Got two bullet choices , a soft and a solid .

286Gr PMP solids and 300 Gr peregrine bushmaster expanding /softs.

Would like to get 4000 lbs of energy out of both or at least a good velocity for my solids as penetration is the goal with the solids.

Can anyone give me some ideas on powder choice or any knowledge with loading either of these , will be shooting out of a 375H&H and the barrel length with the bolt closed is 22.24 inches

Never loaded either of those bullets, but 78.0g of H4350 prints 5 shot groups sub MOA at just over 2600 fps out of my M70 with 300 grain A-Frames, and other similar 300 grain bullets I've fired with that same load. Energy is around 4500 ft-lb. Work up, don't start at 78.0g. I've also had good results with Win748, H4895 and Varget in .375H&H. The 300 grain GameKings print nearly overtop the A Frames with that load if you can get your hands on them. Much less expensive than premium bullets for practice.

i would shoot 300 gr bullets, if you get 2500 fps, you will end up with 4100+ ft lbs of energy
