Any suggestions for powders? I was thinking H4831 / H4831SC based on my experience and luck with this powder.
How about others? Gonna push 300grainers

The Hodgdon site has a whole bunch of 375 ruger loads.
I use H 4350
Thanks, looked at the Hodgdon website already. Just curious at what others have had luck with.
I think I'm still going to run with the 4831SC to start, its very temp insensitive and I've had really good luck with it in the past.
Gatehouse, hows your 375 holding up? Are you happy with it? This one is going to end up an ATV/Hunting gun (love the 20" barrel).

My experience was that 4350 gave me pressure without giving me the velocity I wanted while H4831 was low pressure but I couldn't get the velocity. I decided that Re-19 would provide the burning rate I wanted, but the loads I needed resulted in heavily compressed charges. The powder I settled on is Hodgdon's relatively new Hybrid 100V, a temperature stable powder similar to Re-19's burning rate, but with a higher loading density.
