I've been thinking lately about working up a decent 38-55-Level load for the 375. Up until now I've been looking for top velocity but was thinking lately of a good "'round the house" load since black bear trash can season is about here. I live out a few miles and don't have to worry about over penetration too much (an exception might be an encounter in the house!). Now don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to think of a good reason to shoot a bear, but they've become a nuisance here since the spring bear season was closed. Some people in the area have had close encounters and even some breakins. I've had them in the garage before and generally around the house unexpectedly. It doesn't hurt to be prepared. I'll also admit that some lighter loads would be fun to shoot sometimes too. The 375 can be pretty respectable in the recoil department.
Does anyone have a pet cast lead load that produces something in the 1300-1600 fps range with good accuracy? Will 21 bhn bullets (as BTB) cause leading at these lower velocities (ie will the bullets obturate)?
