Load data in caliber .375 Chey Tac with .375 | 250gr | Barnes Solid BT bullet and 75 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are Hodgdon Retumbo, Accurate MAGPRO and Bofors RP5.

Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge. Since we have no control over the equipment and components used, any responsibility and liability for the results achieved is rejected.

Only powders/loads that match the current filter criteria are displayed: max pressure of a load ≤ 90% of max. standardized pressure, fill rate ≥ 80% and propellant combustion ≥ 95%. Use the sliders above the tables to adjust these thresholds.

Charge: Powder weight in grains. Start with the minimum load and work up carefully.

FR (Fill Rate): Case fill as a percentage. Values above 100% mean compressed loads.

MaxP / %: Maximum chamber pressure in bar and as a percentage of the standardized maximum for this caliber.

V(0): Muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) at the standardized barrel length.

z (Powder Burn): Estimated propellant combustion percentage at bullet exit.

<<locked>> you need an access license to unlock this data.

This overview compares 75 powders for .375 Chey Tac loaded with the .375 | 250gr | Barnes Solid BT. Hodgdon Retumbo delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 3,258 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,972 fps to 3,258 fps. ADI AR 2217 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 75 of the 75 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.

Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (440 MPa), the top charges use 58–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 250.0 gr projectile in 0.375" calls for a 1:15.0 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. ADI AR 2217, ADI AR 2225, Alliant Reloder-33 reach 100 % fill or more at maximum charge, so these are compressed loads: they need a long drop tube to seat cleanly and react sensitively to the case capacity of your own brass lot. Hodgdon Retumbo, Accurate MAGPRO, Bofors RP5 rank at the top here: for .375 Chey Tac with the .375 | 250gr | Barnes Solid BT they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
