Focus Johnn, I'm not one of Gatehouse' detractors you on the other hand are. :) BTW that photshopped picture is very old most have got over that laugh why on earth are you still keeping it?
 
the hecklers ... They don't have anything else to contribute.

Well. Such pettiness. :runaway:
The vast majority of members, they do indeed see what's what and who is who.
Devolved thread. Boring.
A waste of precious time, better spent at the loading bench.

Who, is invested to the point of insulting the gent's, or their choice of cartridge case to propel that 270gr. .375" projectile to 2800?.

Whatever rows your boat.
All good, the h&h is gonna be rock'n steel tomorrow.:)

.. :popCorn:

This thread sucks! How'd I do? :) Actually I think some of the detractors have a man crush on you Gate, sort of like the guy pulling a girl's pony tail in grade 6 that he secretly admires. :popCorn:

I can't think of any other reason a man would keep a photoshop of another man on his computer for 10 years.......
 
This thread is on it' s way to getting locked. Play nice and keep it civil: Enough with the heckling from all parties. If we can't keep it on topic it no longer serves a purpose.

I'll begin deleting threads and handing out infractions if it continues.

Fair warning. Let's hope it's listened to.

Today I had a chance to get out to our range with my FN .375 Ruger(21" barrel). I had acquired a box of Sierra 250 gr BT's that I wanted to check out. I decided to try them with IMR4350 because I have lots of it.

Results

80 gr - 2714 fps
81 gr - 2742 fps
82 gr - 2775 fps
83 gr - 2815 fps

Accuracy was pretty good with all 3 shot groups running 1-1 /14" and they shot to the same point of impact as 270 TTX's at 2700 fps. I was shooting in the heat with pretty intense heat waves.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed in the velocities. I have shot 260 gr Accubonds to about 2870 fps out of this rifle using RL15. Next time out, I'll be trying RL15 and RL17.

Perhaps the 4350 is a bit too slow for these lighter bullets.

the sierra 250 bt are the most accurate bullet in my 375 H&H by far. i love them for paper punching.

Quite a while back, I did some reloading and testing for an H&H my Son In Law has and lent me to 'play' with. It's a custom job, based on a Sako action and Hornady 300gr SPBT's showed some of the best accuracy. Still have a couple of boxes so I'll have to see how they perform out of my model 70.

I'm glad to see things have quieted down on the 375 Imposter front............

Indeed....

Speaking of 375 imposters I own one a 375 Winchester :) Replacing the 38-55 with an identically shaped cartridge has to be as much an imposter as could be! Just a way of increasing pressure in the round without blowing up old black powder guns as we know... anyways it is a decent little round in the thick stuff in a handy package a model 375 Marlin. I've got some 220 grain Hornadys on hand and some Barnes original 250s on order, fixing to get it shooting again for the first time in a half dozen years

I remember B C's invention years back here too... went something like this..

' so I'm sittin here lookin at a 30-30 case and lo and behold its 3/8" at the base. Now for those that can't figure it out that's .375 inch! So I'll just blow out a 30-30 and load 375 bullets and have one hell of a new 375 brush gun!! Can't believe someone never thought it before!'

:D
