Thanks to "magman" I got a sweet deal on a Custom shop T/C SS 375Win. mag-na-ported and duo-rings(plus dies and brass). Took it to the range sat. and with RL-7 and 200gr Sierra's it'll touch holes @ 50yds on the 1st try! Now I gotta wait till next deer season to use it on deer. Here in Ohio it has to be straight-walled and bigger than 357. Everyone wants to borrow my SSK 14" 45/70 to hunt with and I NEEDED another big gun for these Ohio bruiser's. I got a 375JDJ for out of state hunts and this will work out fine switching back and forth between 375's.

Just bought a NIB stainless 14 inch Hunter in 375 Win.. What was your load of RL7 ? Waiting on my dies and warmer weather.

I started with 37gr of RL-7. According to article that magman sent with barrel 38gr of RL-7 out of a 14" barrel will move out at almost 2100fps. The one I just got is 15". I'm going to try and use the 200gr Sierra's here in Ohio so I can still make some long shots if needed. I used the 200gr in my 375JDJ on deer in Penna with good results. I'm going to raise the bar on this load to get a little more fps to make this a 200yd deer gun with the 200gr.

The 375 Winchester sounds great. How is the .375 Win w/magnaport for recoil. How does it compare to your .375 JDJ........ TLV

If we keep talking about this 375 Win, maybe I can sell another one that I have. I was looking for a stainless and could not find one. A NIB blued showed up and I bought it. Two dats later, you guessed it, I located a stainless, so I bought that one too. Now I have a barrel to sell. Let's keep talking it up.

Having shot both the 375Win and 375JDJ. I can honestly say the magna-ported 375WIN is very easy to shoot

I shot both the 375Win and my 375JDJ sat. The Win was 15" and mag-na-ported with the rynite T/C grips duo-rings 3x9 Burris and rynite forearm. The JDJ was with 12" full-lenght TSOB w/4-rings 4x Burris, mag-na-ported also with Pacmayer grips and forearm(this is heavier than the 375Win set-up). The JDJ has a more noticable push back in your hands. I was shooting 200gr out of Win. and 225gr out of JDJ with more powder in the JDJ. The Win is a milder barrel to shoot. But their still both alot less than my max 45/70 loads from my ssk 14" barrel.

have you tried the 220 hornadys ? have 375 win encore bbl coming anyday now .have you had any luck with anyother powders?

I loaded up some 220 Horn FN but never shot them. The 200gr Sirra's w RL-7 did so well I just shot them till they were gone. I'm loading up some other loads and will post results later. I have 220's, 225's,235's and 275's and I'll eventually try all of them. But for here in Ohio I'm leaning to the 200gr for longer shots that occur here.
