Thread: 375 H&H, projectiles for NZ

Someone was selling 375 cast lead bullets on Trademe, if you don't want to cast your own.

It shoots beautifully with 300gr pills and I’m not downloading for recoil issues, just have no idea what projectiles will be best for NZ critters. Big nasty pills are quite inticing but more expensive ha

I found in my 303 a Woodleigh 215gr round nose was devastating in larger critters...(My rifle was nicknamed Hammer by those who were with me) I'll probably use something similar in the 375....maybe a bit bigger but RN.

Dropped shitloads of pigs, dingo's, donkeys, horses and Buff.
Runs at around 2600 by memory.
Blows bloody big holes in things, like the Kill Bill movies actually.

Sorry I put you crook with some details - Woodleigh 270gr PP - doing 2620fps - 79.3 grains AR2209 - Energy 4114 ft lbs

I’ve grabbed some Speer 235gr Hot-Cor projectiles, would anyone please be able to advise me on a starting point with what and how much powder for a load?
