340gr is perfect for the 375 H&H....solid an expanding.....increased SD and reduced speed.....
The Woodleigh 350’s are awesome bullets. Their 350 gr conventional solid at 2,300 fps has incredible penetration.

Keven, I will go so far as to say that bullet design and construction are most important as well. I believe that is why I have had such good luck with the Cutting Edge Bullet solids and NorthFork solids in three different calibers, on buffalo.Hi Brian, firstly congratulations upon those two buff. Yes it does count, it all comes down to bullet wt and velocity.
Great result. Now off to the buffalo fields!My doublerifle in .375 Flanged Magnum regulating load is at 2455 fps according to my chronograph with 300 grains Hornady DGX Bonded using Norma cases, Federal 215 LRM and Vihtavuori N160 gun powder.
Unfortunately I have yet to try it in practical hunting on anything larger then a swedish bull moose. So I cant say how well it works in actual hunting on bigger game than that. It does seem to regulate very well with this load, about 4 cm at 50 meters and 7 cm at 100 meters. With Hornady DGS solids it regulates about the same with a little less spread at both distances (like 0,5 cm so hardly noticable).
Hopefully in the, somewhat, near futureGreat result. Now off to the buffalo fields!
Waiting anxiously for an email from SSK, indicating my No 1 rebarrel to 375 Flanged Mag N.E. is done!
I have some 350gr Woodies I plan to load up to ~2,300....for science!
Rifle is 8 weeks past due....so should be done in a couple more weeks, LOL.

I am on a very short leash!We need to see that when it’s done! You do realize that this will require another visit to John Sharp I assume?
Dan - they have had my rifle almost 6 months. I am hoping my wait is almost over!Well that is definitely something to look forward to!
I am on a very short leash!
My visits with John are all in the States now.![]()

Yup. That is the idea!!Very proper African do-all! Since its in a Ruger #1, I would think you could run very hot loads safely given the extreme strength of the action. Basically, a 375HH with better extraction.
