Your 375 Flanged should be regulated for cordite loads of 300 and 270 grains. You can use this to load 235 and 250 grains also, but this needs a little fine tuning.

Ammo available in the US and through Kynamco in England.

You will need compatible load data for different bullet weights, and this applies to all calibers. Fine tuning a load involves a lot of homework and given the non-availability of components over here, is not something that should be dabbled with if you have a 'ball-park' idea of what your doing, substituting unknown powders, reviving misfired primers, etc. at best you will ruin a perfectly good gun, at worst, you can grievously injure yourself or die.
"With solid bullets on heavy animals such as elephant, rhino and buffalo this power is quite apparent but is not so obvious as when soft-nose bullets are being used, say, lion, particularly when is a case of stopping a charge : the .404 will stop him all right, but will seldom crumple him quite so completely as will the .416" -- John Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, (Ch. IX)
