.375 Win

[Ernest T. Bass]

Can anyone tell me if ammunition is still available for the Win. Model 94 in this cal., and how does it compare to the .444. Thanks.

WINCHESTER STILL CATALOGS THIS IN SOME OF MY WHOLSALE BOOKS BUT I HAVE NOT TRIED TO ORDER ANY TO KNOW IF IT'S REALLY ON THEIR SHELVES. A FRIEND OF MINE OWNS A WIN-375 AND I HAVE SHOT THIS PARTICULAR RIFLE. RECOIL IS ABOUT THE SAME AS A MARLIN IN 35-REM, GROUPING AT 100 YDS WAS IN THE 5" CLASS WITH FACTORY AND HANDLOADED AMMO.{NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE} THERES NOT MUCH CHOICE ON BULLET SELLECTION BUT THE BRASS IS EASY TO FORM. SIMPLY BLOW A 30-30 CASE STRAIGHT OUT. THE 444 MARLIN OUTCLASSES THIS CARTRIDGE IN ALL RESPECTS. AVAILIBILITY, ENERGY,RANGE,ACCURACY,CHOICES FOR COMPONENTS AND SO FORTH. THE 375 IS IN ABOUT THE SAME LEAUGE AS THE 35-REM WITH 200GRN BULLETS, BUT THIS IS ONLY AS LONG AS WERE TALKING ABOUT LEVER GUNS. 20"BBL OR LESS. CHANGE A FEW THING AND THE 35-REM WOULD TAKE THE LEAD.
