Load data in caliber .375 Fl. Mag. N.E. with .375 | 270gr | Barnes Banded Solid RN bullet and 51 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are ReloadSwiss RS 60, Alliant Reloder-17 and SNPE Vectan SP 11.

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.

This overview compares 51 powders for .375 Fl. Mag. N.E. loaded with the .375 | 270gr | Barnes Banded Solid RN. ReloadSwiss RS 62 delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 2,507 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,555 fps to 2,507 fps. Alliant Reloder-23 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 51 of the 51 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.

Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (325 MPa), the top charges use 73–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 270.0 gr projectile in 0.375" calls for a 1:6.0 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. Alliant Reloder-23, Hodgdon TrailBoss, ReloadSwiss RS 14 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. ReloadSwiss RS 60, Alliant Reloder-17, SNPE Vectan SP 11 rank at the top here: for .375 Fl. Mag. N.E. with the .375 | 270gr | Barnes Banded Solid RN 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.
