I picked up 100 325gr hard cast gas checked bullets off of gunbroker to try out in my 375 H&H. im hoping you guys/girls could suggest some starting loads for these within my very limited powder selection.

all I have available to me at the moment is:

- W760
- IMR 4064
- IMR 4350
- IMR 7828

im open to other powder ideas but its unlikely ill be able to find them as store shelves are still empty around here.

thank you

You can make any of those work, you just need to be mindful that the bullet will most likely not want to be driven much past 2,000 fps (lots of variables will determine the actual limit).

Are these just for plinking, or do you plan to hunt with them?

I have a Lyman 49th at the house. I will pm you some starting loads tonight.

just looking for plinking loads to play around with on the cheap.

Too bad you don't have powder in the Unique to Reloader 7 range.

You aren't near Houston are you?
 
I checked cast data in two different manuals.

Reloader 7 was the slowest powder listed.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
