My favorite 375HH load is with IMR4064.
I don't believe you can get enough 4350 in the case to work well with a 270 grain bullet.
I think a load with 4895 would work, I just have not used that in 375 although it is my favorite in heavy 223 and 308.
The following is an awesome load for 375HH:
260 grain Nosler Accubond; 71.0 grains IMR4064; Win LRMagnum primer; average 2693 f/s out of 24" bbl
Sight in 3" high at 100 yards it is 4" high at 150, dead-on at 220 and 4" low at 300. About the same as a 30/06 with a 165 grain bullet.
(This was Jack O'Connors favorite load, too)

Not much difference in 4064 and 4895. Use the 4895. Worked well in mine.
Just a note: I have all bunch of manuals an am familiar with a popular links. Was just wondering if anyone had hints or loads they liked for a possible combo to work up to.

Barnes manual #3 list H4895 67.0/min to 72.0/max. 2601/2791 fps. It recommends Varget 68.0 up to 73.0, 2527/2709. I have used 69.0 of Varget. 270 XLC FB Barnes bullet. CCI250 primer, Winchester brass. I like IMR 4064 which is also a recommended powder. But do not see much difference between Varget and 4064. Your mileage may vary.
I'm still using a load from the old Ken Waters articles in HANDLOADER from 30+ years ago. WW760 and a 300 gr bullet.
I've never strayed from the 300's. Using NP's or earlier the Sierra 300 BTSP's for elk here in MT. And 300 grain Swift A-Frames over in South Africa.
Easy ctg to make shoot...you have probably more viable options than bad ones.

Many years ago when I first loaded for 375 H&H, someone told me that Reloader 15 is THE powder for 375H&H (that "someone" was an experienced hunter/booking agent on Accurate Reloading forums). Subsequent testing proved, to me, that this is a true statement. You can load 220s to 300s with this powder and it works great. Of those you have listed, Varget probably has the closest burn rate, so that's what I would try....

RL-15 is king, but 4064, 4350, and Varget are popular...as is 4895. I'm going to try RL-17.
