Does anyone have any load data for the new temperature stable IMR 4955 for .375 H&H and larger cartridges?
 
Hodgdon site is best for that. The 4955 will be too slow-burning for the 375 H&H. with maybe the exception of 350 grain although case volume may come into play. I have gotten good velocities with 4955 including 208/210 grain 30/06 loads. Looking at the loads versus velocity...4955 is appealing.
 
Thanks Dr. Bob,
Hodgdon lists IMR 4955 loads for 416 Rigby and 500 Nitro, neither of which I have guns for.
I have .375 H&H, .416 Rem, .416 Taylor, .458 Lott, and a .450 Rigby. 8 lbs of 4955 followed me home yesterday because the price was far to good. Maybe I need another rifle to go with this powder!

450 Rigby with 550 grain ...but I totally agree... having that powder sit there and not have a suitable rifle to use it ...is terrible. The 450 Rigby needs its sibling!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
