375 H&H Powders for the .375 248gr (or in the 250 grain class) Hammer Hunter?

[xphunter]

This barrel is a short one - 14"
What powders have worked for you guys in the 250 grain class weight for the 375 H&H?
I already have some 248 grain Hammer Hunter bullets.
There is no need for me to run this thing to the max, just functional for killing out to about 250 yards

@JD338 ,
Do you think CFE 223 would be the powder to start with?

 

[RL338]

A quick peak at QL and the CFE 223 is at the top of the list. I think it should give you good results.

RL15 and Varget were always pretty good with the 250/260 class bullets in a 375. 15 would do 2900 in most decent barrels. LVR/CFE223 seem like they’d be worth a shot as well.

What is the start and Max load for CFE223?

I have Varget.
Do you have a start and a max load for Varget with a 250 grain?

Interesting. I've got some of those 248 gr Hammers, and rather a lot of Varget. Worth a try I suppose.

I'm using 81.0 grs of CFE223 with the 250 gr TTSX and 250 gr SGK. Its an upper end load.
I've also had great results with StaBall 6.5 with the 260 gr E-Tip.
