I just received my components goodie bag from Midway USA and decided to go with 235 gr hot cors driven by varget for my initial break-in and sighting loads. I used a lee factory crimp die and put a stout crimp onto the smooth jacket. While not a "true" full-power heavy load, it's still firing a big bullet at over 2600 fps and around 4000 ftlbs of energy; not a trivial load in my book. Now all I need is my rifle delivered.
Interesting case design, I believe it is touted by Hornady as an original new design. I whipped out a 300 wm cartridge and put it side by side with a 375--it looks to me like the 375 resembles a blown-out 300 wm case with the belt removed and shoulder angle reduced.
