Hi guys I've got all the manuals but can't seem to locate good data for these two bullet weights. For powders on hand I have Varget, RL 19, IMR 3031, IMR 4138, and H4198, but I have a feeling this big ol' case is going to require me to get something along the lines of H4350 or RL 22... Tx!
.375 H&H loads for 225 and 260 grain bullets?

Reloader 15 is a great powder for that weight range, start at 69 gr , and finish up @ around 73 gr or so.

Over the years I've experienced similar problems, on occassion. The main problem was trying to have a minimum number of powders that would 'do it all'. Didn't work for me. I've recently started reloading for my 375, and for the two bullet weights you've mentioned, if you want to use one powder for both, take a look at IMR 4895, IMR 4064 and/or RX15.
My 602 in 375 has it's best accuracy with 260 Accubond with 73gr RL 15 or 77gr W760 which is very nice from a powder measure. At 100 yds. this rifle shoots a 3/8 group with 75gr IMR 4350 300 gr Hornady RN and COAL of 3.750". Have fun experimenting!

That's what I called my 500 S&W, The 'Hummer'. The Hum V would be the top of the SUV 'food chain', like the 500 is to the world of handguns.
I've recently received a custom made 375 H&H and will probably be using IMR 4320 & IMR 4350.
