Thanks for the info there.

On the subject of the wildcat, I myself have thought that a New England single shot in 30-30 that had been improved to Ackley's specs would really wake up that cartridge. You would be able to utilize any 30 caliber bullet, taking advantage of bullets that normally wouldn't be used in a lever action. This idea really appeals to me, I just have to locate a 30-30 single shot that can be had for a decent price. After all, us Marine Gunnies aren't made of cash!

If you are able to uncover any more info about the .375 Win, it's always appreciated. Thanks again.
