LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR THE 375 JDJ

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Have a Contender barrel coming in 375 JDJ. Would welcome suggestions for bullets that have worked well or where to find load data.

The Hornady manual has load data or you can get it from J. D. Jones of SSK Industries.

I have a 20" carbine barrel that I load for. I use JD's load chart that comes with dies. The Hornady 220 FP with 55.0 gn Varget goes 2518FPS & 1 1/2" groups @ 100yds.
Sight in 2" High @ 100 & your dead on @ 200yds. Great for deer, black bear, hog size critters.
Use the 160 Nosler or 175 Hornady for Elk or extra large size critters.

Thank you both I've got a little direction.

I've owned four SSK 14" 375JDJ's, but no carbine or rifle length barrels for this cartridge.   Their steadiest diet was Hornady 270gr SP's, but they also fed on Speer 285gr Grand Slam's and Nosler 300gr FP's or Partitions sometimes, all driven about 1900-2000FPS.   Shot both 220gr and 235gr as well in one or two of them but preferred the others no matter what the target was.    I even shot ground diggers with the 270's out to about 300, but only scared most of those around 5.   LOL

I shoot/hunt with a 21" Contender carbine s/s in 375JDJ (my avatar pic) only bullet I hunt with are 260gr Accubonds they are extremely accurate muzzle velocity is appr 2280 - 2300fps Accubonds expand down to under 1800fps which makes this a 300 yard hunt almost anything in north America including moose combo.
 
While on a grizzly hunt a couple years ago I shot a 6' black bear and last fall shot a 2 point blacktail with this combo.
 
I load most other weights from 220gr to 270gr but but mostly use them for plinking.
