375-338 vs the 375 H&H?

Let me Google this for you ;)........

.375-338: 88gr of water
.375 H&H: 95gr of water
.375 Ruger: 99gr of water
 
Same thing as the 375 CT/ taylor?

Can you let us know if you build one; what kind of velocities you get with 300 grain bullets.
 
Both of those will leave you wanting more velocity. But both great choices

True enough. But then, there's always something out there a little bigger if that's what you want and this is especially most notable in the 30 cal selections available. I decided to pick up a model 70 Winchester Super Express in 375H&H that came available as;) I thought it would be a good mate for the one I already had in 458WM.



Then, after reading a few articles on the 375CT and/or the 375-338, plus seeing some of the info on this wildcat in P.O.Ackleys books, I:redface: decided I 'needed' one.



Admittedly, I haven't done much with it yet in the way of reloads and testing but that should change with:redface: better and IMPROVED access to our range and after I have a cataract issue delt with.
 
Both of those will leave you wanting more velocity.
Really?

1. 24" bbl.
2. Load was hot, not magic. I didn't use it as a 270gr @ 2700fps has always just fine in a 375Magnum. If one needs more, the 378Weatherby is an option.
3. :)

Nice!
but to me misleading... :)
I have learned that RL 15 is one of the best powders for the 375's but it is very temp sensitive. Caution should be used when dumping 75+gr of it in a smaller case and using it in the heat.
Its far easier to get that velocity from a 375 Ruger or whatever that was designed for it.
 
Buckmastr............I absolutely have to disagree with you on RL 15 being temp sensitive. I have a load that produces 2925 fps with a 270 TSX from a 24" barreled Rem 700 375 H&H at about 15 deg C. Admittedly this load is warm but the accuracy is outstanding and the energy is huge with a trajectory better than a 300 H&H 180 gn load. I used this rifle and load in Zambia in 55 deg C + temps with no pressure signs at all, I also used the same load in the Congo and SA and Namibia.........no grief at all, no spikes and no stiff bolt lift. I must also add that this was chronographed through an Oehler 35P, not a Chrony or some other questionable speed measuring device.
