Afternoon everyone. I have a 375 H&H Magnum CZ Safari rifle and have been enjoying it quite a bit. I LOVE shooting turtles with it! LOL! I have been using cast bullets, gas checked and powder coated for a while. Out to 100 yards, no issue whatsoever. A buddy of mine asked if I wanted to try to go Nilgai hunting before Whitetail season opens up in November. He cant guarantee the hunt will happen but if it does I am jumping on it like a duck on a junebug. I want to use my 375 H&H because all it has killed so far is a coyote, a hog and a bunch of turtles. It deserves to be used on something big. I will be taking a 35 Whelen also for a spare rifle.
If any of you 375 shooters out there have any partial boxes of bullets like 5, 10 or 15 or whatever left and you aren't going to use them I would like to purchase them and do a quick test before I wade off into several boxes of 50. My thinking is if they feed easily and give me a fair to modest (2.5 to 3 inch at 200 yards) group I will go ahead and buy a couple boxes to use between my cast reloads. I am happy to help yall clear your benches LOL and am happy to pay for the bullets and the shipping. Please include the manufacturer or any other information available so I can order the exact ones if they work out.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

I had one of those CZ's and it was sub-MOA at 200 yards with the Hornady 270RN over RL15 in Winchester cases. Probably the max charge from the Lyman manual since I believed I was impervious to recoil back then. Flattened a coyote with mine too, though a walking varminter it is not.
The 270 spire point wasn't as accurate as the big round nose, and I don't recall being overly impressed with the 235 Speer in it either.

I was shooting cast at 1900 fps. It just popped out of the brush at the wrong time to be lucky. I dont mind packing it every once in a while but you are correct that it is not a great stalking rifle for South Texas. I kinda regret not also getting the 416 version as well when I got the 375. I think the set trigger makes a cool addition to the rifle.

I have a box of 300 grain hornady btsp with 45 left in the box. Some of them are turning a little green , but they are yours if you want them. Maybe swap for some powder coat if you still have some.
