H870 in a 300 RUM and 375 RUM -Need help!

[Marcos Rodriguez]

My friends! Although my experience in hand reloading, ther be a challenge to me... I don´t know ANYTHING about the H870 powder...
A friend of an argentinian forum has a 300 rum and a 375 rum,
Is any option of loads with this powder? He have a couple of pounds, but he (and I....) don´t know if it works or not... and the charge table...
Any sugestions?
Very gratefull....
Marcos

Since those cartridges came out long after the powder was discontinued I think you will not be able to get load data. Sorry. You will need to try a different currently produced powder

Weapons (300 RUM and 375) are mine. Marcos made the query because I was not registered. Thanks Mark and thanks Nivernhunter. Perhaps the H870 gunpowder is very slow for the caliber. I use it because I own 2 lbs.

PGP, you´re wellcome!

I have asked around and have been told various things about H870. If I were you I would contact Hogdon powder their email address is : help@hodgdon.com

Hola PGP,

Aqui es la informacion de Hodgdon Manual #23, 1977, por la .300 Weatherby y el povre H870. Estas son las maximas y yo creo la 300 RUM es mas grande que el .300 Weatherby. Solamente la maxima es en el libro.
180 grain bullet 95 grain H870 2949 feet per second
200 grain bullet 95 grain H870 3094 feet per second
220 grain bullet 95 grain H870 3008 feet per second

Buena suerte con su .300 RUM

[Bruce Fletcher]

Thankd you very much.

You are welcome. I hate to even pass on some of the things I have been told as they may not be accurate or someones opinion or it may be good information. However, after reloading for a while I don't take chances with powder charges. To much at stake if the information is wrong.

In the .375 Rum my most accurate loads where with IMR 4350..............I would think H870 would be too slow............ But the best advice I have seen on this thread is to go to Hodgdons website!
