Tom, not the 200 Sierra, but one that is close. I have a load that shoots well in my .375 H&H that uses the Hornady 220 FP at 2450 fps, using 5744 powder.




That sounds good. I ordered a box of Hornady 220 gr bullets a few minutes ago, and will try them instead of the 200 gr Sierra. The Sierra manual specifically advises against using their bullet at over 2200 fps. Now I have to determine if the Hornady bullet is accurate and if it will expand well at my speeds.

If I have to, I can easily bump up the speed until the bullet expands well, but I specifically want 2500 fps for two reasons. It should give me a +/- 2 inch point blank range of 200 yards, and mild recoil. I’ll let you know what happens.

Take care, Tom
