I just found Sam Fadala’s article on the 375 using the 94
He used:
200 grain Winchester power point
220 grain Hornady
250 grain Winchester power point
He also sanded the 235 grain Speer’s point to make it a flat point
He mentioned a couple times not to use this bullet in the 94 because no cannelure and the bullet is heavily constructed and even with the flattened point he recommended not to put a loaded cartridge with this bullet in the magazine tube.
He doesn’t mention accuracy other than “all loads were accurate”. He whined about the iron sights being “too fat”.
The powders he used on the 200 grain bullet:
H-4895 39 to 41 grains 1,893 FPS to 2,044 FPS. (Old H-4895 I believe)
BL-C(2) 42 to 44 grains
H-335 41 to 43 grains
H-322 38 to 40 grains
H-4198 30 to 33 grains
The velocities of these loads slow to fast pretty much matched H-4895
H-4198 though topped out at 2,137 FPS
The 220 grain bullet he used IMR-4198, RE-7, IMR-3031, & H-322
The fastest load was with 38 grains of RE-7 @ 2,200 FPS
(220 was faster than 200 grain- hmm)
The 250 grain bullet he used H-4895, BL-C(2), H-335, H-322 & H-4198.
All these powders had similar top and bottom velocities of about 1,700 to 1,850 FPS.
