Mills,
A load you can shoot all day in the 375 H&H is 235 grain Speer SP, 64 grains IMR 4064 @ 2300 fps. The beauty of the 375 is it will shoot all four bullet weights, 235, 270, 300 & 350 gr, on the same vertical. The factory 235 grain load @ 2800 fps plus will wear on you while plinking, but the above load @ 2300 fps is quite tame in comparison. It makes a dandy deer load and won't bruise the meat. Harry |
Congrats Mills. If you PM me the serial number I can tell you when it was made.
Harry I wrote down your load info and will give it a try. |
Rich, That load is from Finn Aagaard. It worked like a dream in my Remington. Harry

I'm using a Sierra bullet of I think 200 or 225 gr I don't recall and have the gout so I'm not going to walk to the basement to look :rotf: and IMR 4227 in the range of 34 gr. It's like shooting a 243 in my Pre 64 M70. I'm going to use the same bullet in the 38-55 when I start working up a load for that.
I don't see to many Speer bullets for sale any more but will look for some. |
I'm jealous!!!
I always wanted a pre 64 in 375. I have some mdl. 70's but not in 375 YET. I do have a 375 I put together on a P14 Enfield years ago. I didn't take it to Africa, I used a heavy double instead. I built the 375 for hunting Elk as they can be tough and I want to put them down ASAP, and by golly it does work. I don't bother with light loads, I've shot Nosler Partition's from the get-go and haven't seen any reason to change. Enjoy your rifle, do take it to Africa and post pictures. |
Very nice Mills, are you going to scope it, or do iron? Plains game or the big stuff??
