Is anybody can help me:I want to load 375 weatherby with nosler 300g accubond, I don't find anything except for 375 hh with 300 g partition. The problem is the partition is shorter than the accubond and it is for 375hh not weatherby.
Can sombody has a clue?
I found 300 ASquare but I dont know the lenght of the bullet vs the accubond. Any clue?
Thanks
 
The case length of the .375 H&H and the .375 Weatherby are essentially the same at 2.85" and .2.86" respectively, so I wopuld simply load to the bullet cannelure and call it good, provided that length will cycle through your magazine without hanging up.

.375 Weatherby 300 gr loads from the A-Square manual:

IMR-4350 start 80 grs for 2546 fps up to a max load of 89 grs for 2709 fps. 85 grs gives you .375 H&Hish performance of 2641 fps.

IMR-4831 start 84 grs for 2620 fps up to a max load of 88 grs for 2730 fps.

Re-19 start at 88 grs for 2558 fps up to a max load of 92 grs for 2745 fps

Re-22 start at 88 grs for 2598 fps up to a maximum of 91.5 grs for 2694 fps.

My observation of this data, for whatever that's worth, is that the relationship as I understand it between 4350 and 4831 and between Re-19 and Re-22 is somewhat ignored by this data. But perhaps Art Alphin was attempting to produce lower pressure loading with he slower burning powder loads rather than attempting to get the maximum performance possible. In any case, work up your loads carefully, and check the velocities against what was published as you go.
 
There is also data in the wildcats books for improved 375 H&H which is almost identical. It runs a 300 gr Sierra up to 2900 fps, but I found that too hot in my 375 Wby. RL22 will take you safely to 2800 or so depending on your barrel length with a 300 gr bullet, in my experience. - dan
