...and now to find ammo.  PLENTY AMMO AROUND.  I've only seen .375 Win ammo on Gun Broker selling at stratosphere prices plus shipping. I do reload and have obtained dies and bullets (Sierra Pro-Hunter 200gr and 220gr Vollmers). Today I got a lead on a few new cases to reload with ... hope that pans out. I'm in the hunt for a pound of AA1680, Reloader 7, or H4198 (in that order or preference).

Tonight I found a local store that has IMR4198 in stock ... that's pretty similar to H4198, so I'll see if I can find some load data for it.

You can use 38-55 cases if you can find them. Just a slight bit shorter but they'll work if you're not going for max loads.

I have a 99A in .375. Most accurate bullet is the Sierra 250-grain BTSP. Would it open up? Hell if I know, but if I ever see a grizzly on the Blue Ridge I'll find out.

Well, I got lucky again. Win 375 ammo and components are very hard to find. The fellow that I bought the 99-375 called me up. He found a box in his dad's estate that had 1 box of unfired 375 Win Big Bore 250gr, 2 boxes unfired Super-x 200gr powerpoint, 1.5 boxes of win 375 reloads made with 31gr IMR 4198 and Hornady 220gr fn, 1 box of hornady 220gr FN bullets, a box of unfired Winchester brass, a set of Lyman dies and a box of gas checks ... all to my door for a very reasonable price. I also found a lb of H4198 at Cabelas in Woodbury, MN when we visited our kids this weekend.
