I am looking to develop a 375 H&H load with the 276 HHT in my CZ 550.

Powders I have readily available:

Bechmark
Ball C
CFE 223
Varget
IMR 8208 XBR
H4350
Superformance
And a bunch that are likely too slow burning.

Please share what you have.
 
I've had good luck with Reloader 15 and a 275 grain CEB Safari Raptor. That powder may work well with the Hammer. I've had good results with Hammer bullets on plains game. I'd like to see how they perform on Buffalo.
 
I use 299gr Stone Hammers along with CFE223. I have two rifles in 375H&H, one a M70 Safari and the other Blasewr R8. Both shoot MOA with the same load. I’m getting 2550 - 2600fps.
 
If you call or email Steve Davis, owner of Hammer Bullets, he will help you. I have called a couple times, incredibly good customer service. Very likely he has a few loads that could get you well on your way.
 
use the 281 gr Stone Hammer data. The 276 is only 0.046" longer.

Steve's guidance will be "start at the bottom, proceed in 0.5 gr increments until you see signs of pressure."
 
In my 375H&H I get the best velocity and groups with AR2209 (H4350). This is in all bullet weights. Except when using the Woodleigh Hydros as they are tool long and use to much powder space in the Rem 700. I use AR2206H (H4895) for that. Still has same POI as the other 300grain bullet loads. I might give BM8208 (8208XBR) a try.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
