Default Model 70

Just bought this Winchester Pre 64 Model 70 in 375 H&H. Hope to take some big game in Africa this summer with it.

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 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??
