Just wondering if anyone else on here shoots or reloads .375 Winchester.

 

[Beladran]

hot dang a 375 fan what kinda info you looking for

 

[danielw]

WELLL.. since there is not a lot of choices of bullets, I was wondering what powder/bullet combination has worked for anyone else?

 

[Beladran]

200gr class seirra speer or hornady. if your using a single shot there is a nice 260gr accubond or 235 spitz sp. Reloader7 is wonderful in straight wall cases or VV N133

FYI almost any bullet that works in the 375hh can be used in the winchester minus the big solids

I caught midway having a sell on blemished bullets and they had 220gr hornady(they didnt say that but thats what they were) for $16 a 100 i got several hundred at that price. That has pretty much been my go to bullet for a while now. I do have some purpose built ones with some max charges on some heavy woodleigh bullets and some solids for just in case i score some big bucks and get to go to the dark continent

i up'ed from the winchester to a 375jdj a few years back. 444 brass is way easier to get than 38-55 cases or 375 winchester cases. on average i get 20% or more fps out of it

I looked at getting a encore barrel in that 375jdj caliber, but couldn't find any ammo or ballistic data on it so I let it lay. Went to Tupelo gun show Sat. and got some primers and the LEE 2nd edition and still no data on the 375jdj.

 

[Beladran]

na you want find any published data in a book. I asked SSK(creators of the 375jdj) for all the data they had when i ordered my barrel. between that and info i have gotten off the net i got everything i could possibly want

 

[danielw]

beladran, I'm a bit confused on the COAL. I was getting the Rifle Seat Length for the encore barrel, which turned out to be 2.66, and all book COAL are all over the place. Some say 2.50, another shows a min. of 2.53 to max of 2.56. If I follow what is in my Nosler book, the COAL for that barrel will be 2.63. Does this only work on shouldered rounds and not straight wall rounds?

 

[danielw]

Sorry bout getting back to ya, first PM I've gotten on here. I have sent you a PM back.

 

[Beladran]

regarding the pm.. I usually always go with what the books say and tweek from there.
