[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1200713, member: 48043"] Lead is out in 375 if you want much over 2,000 fps. you play the game a bit differently with lead than you do with jacketed. My 375h@h will do just over moa with 280 grain Lyman cast flat nosed gas-check bullet made for a 38-55... I load them so the gas check is flush with the back of the neck and they start to engrave the rifling when they are loaded. They seem to obdurate when they get close to 2,000 fps; that's with a rather hard alloy with added tin and cold quenched. The alloy would destroy itself if pushed much past 2,100 fps in my rifle, and she is a 12" twist. You will be looking at the smaller makers like Hammer if you want good lr pills for your 375; cast pills are best reserved for mid range work with a straight sided cartridge. [/QUOTE]
