7mm and 375 h&h looking for some great hunting ammo - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Hi, all I did some trading this weekend and ended up with a Sako AIII in 7mm Rem Mag and a new Win Safari in 375 H&H Mag, My question is since my reloading gear is all packed away what are some hunting loads.
I have had a 7mm before but this is my first 375.
Any one with a 375 let me know what you like. I will use the 7mm for white tale and mule deer, the 375 for my trip to Africa in a few years.

Thanks

Dave

kittyhawk,

I have a 7mm Mag in Rem. mdl 700. I have spent a lot of time at the range in the last year with factory ammo, as I have not yet taken the plunge into handloading. I am an unabashed accuracy nut (from varmint hunting). By far, the most accurate load I have found that would be adequate for both deer and elk is Federal Premium's loading of the Nosler Accubond bullet. I hunt elk with the 160gr. version and get 3-5 shot groups of 1 inch or less at 100 yards (my best being a 0.625in. group). Granted, this is with my rifle and this same load may very well act differently in your 7mm. Mine is pretty much stock except for a glass bed job I had done on the stock. I am also hoping to get out with the Federal 160gr. Barnes Triple-Shock X bullet soon. I have heard some pretty amazing things about this load as well. All in all I have been floored with the accuracy of this factory ammo from Federal.
