With the difficulty all of us have in acquiring bullets for this round and they are getting pricey as well, I stumbled on Fury Bullets so I decided to try some.  I finally got to the range with my oldest son yesterday and tried a handful of differently loaded rounds with the 375 220 grain Fury bullets to see just how they went.  At 25 yards off hand my son was getting nice groups from the DW 375SM revolver and I sent 5 rounds out of my Thompson Contender that a quarter would cover.  The Contender was rested on the butt and has optics on it, I'm not that good...  These bullets performed very well and loaded very easily using the data from the Hornady likeness. Highly recommend them.

 

I also loaded some Montana Bullets 250 grain lead Gas checks.  These also performed very well.  These two offerings are available readily and are a great option for those struggling with this round's components.

Thanks for this info Phil!!!  

Can I ask, at what distance was the optics used for “I sent 5 rounds out of my Thompson Contender that a quarter would cover.”??

Yes, thanks for the info! I haven't heard of Fury bullets until today. How long did you have to wait for them to fill your order?

They may be too long for the Supermag to fire. That's why I like Les Vollmer as his bullets are made for the 375 Supermag. ChargerFan would know but I noticed he was shooting out of a Thomson Contender not a Dan Wesson.

We shot these from both our DW model 40 375 and a contender.  They are spot on with the Hornady.  Fury had them in stock, it was just a couple days.

 

25- Yards on the Contender that time out, the other distances were occupied.  I am going to work it out to 100- yards.

Sorry I misread the first part. So what's the cost per bullet? I think the Les Vollmer runs about .78  cents and it takes a while to get them once ordered. This my be a better faster route to go!

A photo of the 220 Gr Jacketed and a lead gas check from Montana for comparison, both working great in the 375SM.  Also some literature talking about the IHMSA cases and preferred Redding dies from many years ago.

When designing my mold with Veral, we made sure to engineer it with the crimp at the same location as the original cannelures. I also wanted it +.002 to make sure it fit the throat dimension of the cylinder- hence the .377.  If anyone wants a bullet to send to a mold maker, LMK and I'll get it out to you. It drops about 230 gr. w/ COWW and 2% tin
