While I no longer have a .375H&H, I loaded it similarly to my present .375/-06IMP. It moves 235gr. Speers at 2,845fps for deer to 400yards, as well as 300gr. bonded Hornady's at 2,470fps for all else, with a 300yard max range. The 300's don't drop enough to move the hairs off hair on Moose nor Elk. This covers most game I am bound to shoot. I also have ammo with 285gr. Speer Grand Slams at 2,520fps for serious work on big bears at close range, however the 300 bonded cores will certainly do that work and probably just as well. I picked up the 285's cheaply at 430.00 for the 50 box, so tried them out. Not shot game with them yet, but they are revered in .375 by some people for heavy work.
; These ballistics are in the heavy 9.3 x62 range, as I easily ran 2,518fps in my 9.3x62 with BLC2 and 286gr. Normas. It is possible the 232gr. Norma is a great deer bullet, and probably would run 2,700fps in a good 9.3. All of thee ballistics are duplicatable in a .375H&H with H4895 powder, with good accuracy, generally. With the appropriate bullet design, these ballistics are plenty adequate for any game, anywhere. Proper hitting is the key to quick kills with this medium bore. It's moderate recoil makes proper hitting much easier than the larger cases. The original ballistics that made the .375 famouls had a 300gr.a t 2,400fps and a 270gr. at 2,600fps, ballistics obtainable in a Mauser 6.3X62 with modern powders.
