Load data in caliber 37XC with .375 | 305gr | Hammer Stone Hammer bullet and 96 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are Vihtavuori N560, Accurate MAGPRO and Norma MRP.

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 102 powders for 37XC loaded with the .375 | 305gr | Hammer Stone Hammer. Alliant Reloder-26 delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 3,025 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,726 fps to 3,025 fps. ADI AR 2217 gives the best case fill at 100 %, and 102 of the 102 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.

Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (480 MPa), the top charges use 51–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. The 305.0 gr projectile in 0.375" calls for a 1:17.0 twist; slower twists will usually not stabilise this weight. ADI AR 2217, ADI AR 2218, ADI AR 2225 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. Vihtavuori N560, Accurate MAGPRO, Norma MRP rank at the top here: for 37XC with the .375 | 305gr | Hammer Stone Hammer they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. As outliers, ADI AR 2218, Alliant Reloder-50, IMR 7977 Enduron burn incompletely and react more sensitively to barrel length and temperature. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
