Load data in caliber .375 Fl. Mag. N.E. with .375 | 270gr | Barnes LRX BT bullet and 63 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 Ramshot Big Game.

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 63 powders for .375 Fl. Mag. N.E. loaded with the .375 | 270gr | Barnes LRX BT. Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 2,474 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,512 fps to 2,474 fps. Accurate 4350 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 63 of the 63 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 1:15.5 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. Accurate 4350, Hodgdon Hybrid 100V, Hodgdon TrailBoss 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, Ramshot Big Game rank at the top here: for .375 Fl. Mag. N.E. with the .375 | 270gr | Barnes LRX 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.
