Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers 375 vs. 35 remm?

I have long thought that the 375 WIN was an expensive way to get 35 REM performance. If a person doesn't reload, the Winchester/Olin 200 grain factory loads are 180 fps different from each other, not a significant difference for the game and ranges involved. While the 375 WIN has an insignificant advantage in velocity, the 35 REM has a very significant advantage in the price and distribution of factory ammo and firearms.

2,020 fps MV for the 200 grain 35 REM verses 2,200 fps MV for the 200 grain 375 WIN.
