235 gr. Speer in .375 H&H
The forum lost my post when it went down for server work yesterday, so I'm gonna try this one again.....Anyone loading the 235 gr. Speer in .375 H&H? Would like to hear about what powders, charge wts., primers, etc. Accuracy? The gun being loaded for is a T/C Encore with 26" bbl. Intended use will be white tail and black bear. Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks...........

The 235 grain has a pretty low Sectional density but should work well for deer and black Bear. Speer recommends a velocity of about 2600 fps to minumize meat damage. I used them in the 375 Winchester Contender. They worked well at about 1900 fps on deer.

I agree.... I have, however, been asked by another to gather some loading data for the 235 gr. bullet, if I could. The sectional density factor will be taken into consideration and passed on. I'm more or less just the mechanic here, and not in charge of driving the car, so to speak.
Again, thanks to those who took the time to reply.
