.375H&H loads

[ForneyRider]

Here is a list of my supplies:

235gr Speer Hot-Cor bullets.
Federal 215M primers.
Reloader 19, IMR4350, 4064, 3031 powders.

This is for Texas deer/hog hunting through a Winchester model 70.

Anybody got some load for this combo?

I shot 74.5 gr 4064 with a Speer 235 through a Mark X Mauser of mine, and I was satisfied. I believe I used CCI magnum primers. I got the load from here (look about 2/3 of the way down):

My results were acceptable (about 1.5 inches at 100 yards), but I was getting 'cloverleafs' with Winchester factory 270's. The problem with the 270's is they made quite an impression three places: the target, my shoulder, and my wallet. I never shot any game with either.

I used the Speer 235's, but used H4895. Great accuracy, never shot anything but paper with it.

Now my dad is telling me to use the Hornady 220gr bullets. But they look like a handgun bullet, maybe for the 375JDJ. I think the Speer is way to go. The 200gr Barnes are too $$$. There is a 225gr that may have potential.

I saw some complete ammo for .375H&H in 235gr on Midway USA or Cheaper than Dirt. Also read that 235gr was a factory round when .375H&H came out back in 1909. definitely prefer the H&H to a .338 Win Mag.

I loaded the 200gr FP designed for 375 Win, but didn't get great results. Verticle strings an inch wide and 4" tall. Prob'ly still okay for deer at close range.
