The 38/55 is longer also, so may not fit in the rotor.

What are the thoughts on the 375 in a 20" brl. with factory 200 gr? Rick, quite a few folks use the Sierra 200 bullet in the .375Win ( the only big commercial company bullet produced now for 375 win). A couple small co. Make 220 and 255 jacketed now, too (Hawk and Vollmer). Both the Big Bore and Marlin Model 375 are 20”. I have not read any complaints about that bullet. can easily get 2200+FPS, some load data with Aa1680 is over 2400fps. RL7 seems to be the favorite powder.

Ralph was asking about cutting the brl back to 20" on a 99-A. I had forgot about Win and Marlin being 20" from the get-go. Other than losing a few FPS and adding a little extra flame I didn't see a problem. Actually, I guess the 375 was probably designed around a 20" brl.

You lose very little velocity on the larger bore diameter cartridges. My .375 is 18" and I don't notice any flames.
