I ask in the Marlin lever section about the 375 case. I also got in the same trade 800 32 Special case. What do these two cases fit, big bore levers I take it.

A 32 special was a standard cartridge like the .30-30.
You should find it in the same guns.
Winchester 94 Marlin 336 (36)
The .375 was in a "Big Bore" winchester 94 and the 375 Marlin (which is still a 336 based frame)
But no, I wouldn't call ether a big bore.

But no, I wouldn't call ether a big bore. Not stirring it, nor am I calling it one, but Winchester sure called the .375 Win a Big Bore in there marketing scheme back a few years.... Marlin called it simply the Marlin 375. I have the Marlin and the chunk 'o lead looks pretty damn big as does the bore...but I cannot and will not comment on what qualifies as a true Big Bore.

Over 0.40" is the usual place to start. (Now where is that smiley face of the little Canuck stirring the pot?

.375 win case is a thicker version of the 30-30 case, you can neck them down to 30-30, 7-30 waters. Some people use them in the 38-55, they are a little short though.
