I use the Lyman 375449GC, .38/55 Win. bullet in my .375 H&H.

My load is 60 grains of H4831 with a 1/10-grain tuft of absorbent cotton on top of the powder to keep it back against the back of the case. This load gives around 1800 FPS and is very accurate in MY .375. It has about the same recoil as a .30/'06, or less and will kill deer well out to 100 yards, just like a .38/55.....
