Ramshot Big Game in .375 H&H

[Lone Star Bluegrass]

Has anybody used Ramshot Big Game for .375 H&H with 300 grain projectiles?

50th Lyman book lists Big Game (300gr Banded Solid) as:
64.0gr
2,248fps
40k
71gr
2,510fps
52,400

Thanks Josh. I was hoping for feedback on pressures, accuracy, etc.

That’s really interesting. Never thought of Big Game as a 375 powder. I use it in my 9.3 and get 2505 with a 286 north fork - 63 gr

Just trying to help get the conversation going. Big Game seems (for the calibers I'm interested in, including 375) to be a fantastic option. After a friend loaded me some BG for 303 British, it got me looking into it deeper. It's one of the more available powders, and it's one of the least expensive. I'm interested to see other's experiences with this powder as well, because if it can be (for my calibers) a more economical alternative to something like Varget, I'm a fan.

I have experienced great success with 76.5 grains of Winchester 760 and Barnes 300 grain TSX.

I’ve always used IMR 4350 or IMR 4064

 

[Jonathan Kashouty]

IMR 4064 is my go to for 235 grain TSX.

IMR 4064 for 300gr TSX is my go-to

These are the same reasons I’m interested. Availability and cost. If you’re burning the stuff ~70 grains at a time it’d be great to keep the cost as low as possible. 7,000 grains per pound, the stuff goes fast!

Yep. If I can feed 300/375 H&H, 303, etc with sub $30/lb powder, I'll be pleased.

I like 4350 or H380 for my .375 H&H. This with 270 or 300 grn projectiles.
