Hawk Cartridges were developed through long hours of testing.  

375 Hawk or Hawk/Scovill Test Data

The 375 Hawk delivers the same ballistics that made the 375 H&H famous in the early 1900's.   

 In Phil Sharpe's "The Rifle in America" 1938, Mr. Sharpe quotes ballistics for the factory loaded 375 H&H as follows, "The 235 grain is loaded at a muzzle velocity of 2775 f.s., the 270 at 2750 f.s., and the 300 at 2475 f.s."  You will note that the 375 Hawk/Scovill easily approaches these numbers.  The important difference is, the Hawk does it with less powder, no belt, less  recoil, and in a 30-06 length action!  

Z-Hat Custom chambers only for the 375 Hawk/Scovill.

For complete load data you can purchase the Hawk Reloading Manual.

All load data for the 375 is reprinted here from Handloader Magazine #166 article titled ".375 Hawk/Scovill" by Dave Scovill, November-December, 1993. Copyright Wolfe Publishing and Mark Harris Publishing Associates, Inc.

"My experience with the .375 Hawk/Scovill has shown it to be efficient, powerful, flat shooting, and an ideal cartridge for all Alaskan game."
