375 Winchester

[grovere]

I have just picked up a 375 Winchester barrel for my T/C Contender and want to cast bullets for it. Has anyone here done that and what are you using for design, weight and mold?

[flintman]

Watch out for bullet designs that can possibly detonate the primer of the cartridge in front of them while they are in the magazine of lever action guns!!!But I think this may be what you might want,it weighs 250 grains or thereabouts and performs well.Even Elmer Keith tried this one in a .375 H&H rifle,he did get good groups by the way!Take care,and Merry CHRISTmas,Jeff.

Hey Grover

I had the same questions, so I called John at Western Bullets http://missoula.bigsky.net/western/cbip/cbip.html

He was a great help and I ordered a few hundred bullets to test.  I saved both time and money (lead, new moulds...ok several new moulds)

Might I suggest you order the different types of bullets that interest you, test them out, then order the mould that works?
