Les, you may have already seen this load on the ADI website.
235 grain bullet max of 70 gns AR 2208 for 2819 fps in 24" barrel.
Not precisely what you're after but may provide something to work with.

Thanks for that, the load is for a mate who is going to New Caladonia (buggered if I can spell it). I only use 270gners and up myself....Les

Try these reduced loads for the 375 H&H loads.

220 gr bullet - 65 grs of ADI AR2208 - approx velocity 2,500 fps
220 gr bullet - 36 grs of ADI AR2205 - approx velocity 2,050 fps

I use the Taipan 220 gr flat point designed for a 375 Winchester round.

The first load gives a good but moderate velocity, well below normal H&H power. The second basically duplicates the .375 Winchester plus a few fps.
