Another .375 Win range report...
« on: September 18, 2011, 11:10:03 AM »
 Well I finally got some loads rolled for the .375 Win. Contender, got out and shot some today and I like what I see so far. I dont see anything wrong with this group, but half the fun of reloading is experimenting, so...

I dont have a chrony, but the empties look great with no signs of high pressure. But, unless something spectacular happens with accuracy, I really see no reason why this wouldnt do just fine as a hunting load. The old doll kept up with my 3-9 x scoped Omega muzzleloader today very easily...keep in mind shes only wearing a Red dot with no magnification. The aiming point lost its sticky, so I traced a circle around it to show where it was in relation to the group.

5 shots @ 100 yds. 1 3/8" group. Two shots in lower right hole.

TC Contender Super 14
35.5 gr. of Reloader-7
220 gr. Hornady flat points
CCI Primers

Many have found RL7 to be optimum for the lil 375. My Own loadings are quite compressed. I dont think you could get too much of that powder in the case.
 
The 220 is also an excellent choice on game. many has fallen to it thru mine!
 
Good luck,' CW
