    Load for 375 h & h

    Bought a 375 h & h a month ago and just so happened to be pointed in the direction of a very helpful guy that reloads for this cal. Anyway invited around to his place this evening and showed me the basic of reloading. Loaded 12 rounds for testing this Sunday.
    Norma brass, Woodleigh 270gr pills and 76gr powder. Will see how she goes.

    80 gr 2209, norma brass, 260 gr nosler accubonds, shot a water buff last September with this load.

    Found the noslers the most accurate in my blaser, have shot steel gongs out 600y with old 375h&h, lots of fun.

    Who says you can never be over gunned.

    Awesome place up there, I whacked a few donkeys and a heaps of pigs. The 375 is impressive on pigs at 30 yards, excellent fun.

    You really want to use a premium type bullet for those buff, my bastard took 4 shots, all in the shoulder, 2 on each side.

    .375 H&H along with 7x57 are my favourite cartridges, sold mine 2 months ago and miss her dearly! Enjoy yours, big holes are the way! I will buy another one soon, as soon as the wife forgets how much i spent on the boat!

    You didn't buy Gillie's Sako did you? Nice rifle that!

    Nice almost exactly what i used with my .375 on my grizzly. I was a little recoil shy though an backed the load off a couple of grains.

    Yes it's an awesome place alright, this is my third trip, I go every year. I plan to take the 375 & 300win mag this year and have a shoot up. Three years ago (my first trip) I shot 79 animals in 5 days, I was absolutely buggered at the end of it.
    When I bowl a buff my aussie counterpart will be standing behind me with his 450 nitro for insurance,
