Someone offered this up, on AR I think. Don't know how good or bad it is, and haven't tried it.

IMR4320/61 gr./2237 fps/Max 65.5 gr./2405 fps
RL-15/62 gr./2253 fps/Max 66.5 gr./2407 fps

Below is the .375 H&H load data for the 350gr Barnes Original bullet taken from the old Barnes Reloading Manual Number One. The Barnes Original is a lead core "cup and core" bullet. Of course, bullet shapes will vary as will bearing surface length, etc. but it should be close to the Woodleigh 350 gr bullet. The data should at least provide a starting point.

One note of caution: I don't know if Barnes used a pressure gun or not when developing the load data for Manual #1. (Many bullet makers did not have access to pressure guns for testing years ago like they do now.) As always, start low and work up. I have not tried any of these loads.

Also, you might to want take at look at the .375 H&H with 350 Gr Bullets thread here on the NitroExpress forums.

Pierre van Tonder and I shot some Buffalo with the 350 gr. PP and RN Woodleighs year before last while cleaning up some permits and to feed the game scouts and locals..We recovered a couple of bullets, but most passed through..The PP penetrated more than the RN, but both were excellent bullets...I loaded them with 66.0 grs. of RL-15....They killed exceptionally well and they sure are an accruate bullet in both of our guns. I got the impression the old 375 took a step up and riveled the 416 perhaps...

I would recommend the RN for herd shooting and the PPs for all else...
