375 Winchester

TGR · Feb 25, 2018

Anyone have a pet load for the 375 Winchester.

I just picked up a Win 94 (first year production, like new) and am looking for a good jacketed hunting load and a cast lead load to just mess around with once in a while.

Now if I can just find some 375 Win Brass!

You may already know, you can shoot 38-55 in a 375Win but not the other way around.

38-55 is a little longer than .375 brass but 38-55 factory loads are loaded down so there is no problem shooting them to get brass if they will chamber in your rifle. Winchester used to do seasonal runs of .375 and .284, but I don't know if they still do. My favorite loads were a 250 grain bullet and 26 grains of IMR 4227 or 27 grains of IMR 4198. They both come in around 1850 FPS or so.

Here's one of my better loads for my Marlin 375......

Trim my brass to 2.012 - 2.015 COL 2.508-2.511
Hornady 220gr Jacketed RFN bullet
36 grains of Alliant Reloader 7
Winchester LR primers
Gets me about 2100 fps, great hunting load
With a good bag rest, I can get 1/2" groups at 50 yds and 1 - 1 1/4 at 100yds

I tried some Sierra 200 gr bullets, my gun wouldn't group them tight enough for my liking

Just to clarify, my loads were with the RCBS 250 gn GC bullet sized to .379.

Other way around. .375 case is just a hair longer case to prevent chambering in .38-55 .

I don't think so. SAAMI case length is 2.085 for 38-55 and 2.020 for .375.
