Very interesting indeed. I've been curious how that powder would work in the 375 H&H and 9.3X62. I'm currently using W-760 in my 375 with excellent results.

With Partitions and Accubonds and TSX/TTSX with the same powder charge I get very close velocities but not with this Hornady bullet. It is before interlocks

Ain't no flies on that. What do you think the pressure is, are the primers still nicely rounded.

I see no problems with the pressure. Speer data using Federal cases and the Speer 270 grain bullet shows 2811 FPS. The Hornady 270 grain needs I think a couple more grain of powder to hit 2800 FPS. Bolt lift and extraction wax smooth and easy with the TSX load

Wonder what you could safely store it to.
Just loaded some 275gn Woodleigh PPSP over 61gn cfe223. Data says 2,500 and a bit . Should be interesting.
I have some 310s loaded over 62gn 2209/ H4350 hope to get a smidge over 2,300.
Then all I have to do is work out what one to use on scrub bulls.

WW760 has been my go to powder in the .375 with both 270gr & 300gr bullets for years.
I do like how CFE223 meters through a powder measure.

Win 760 is good in the 375 H&H in my experience
