Gents, I bought one on a whim once I read it can handle .38-55 loads, but then read another article saying it couldn’t handle the .38-55 pressures after I bought it...
Can someone on here clear this up before I try some through it?
Hope I can, that was the main reason I decided to buy it.
Thanks in advance

The .375 Winchester is a much higher pressured round than the 38-55. It is basically the other way around.

FWIW......…….actual .375 Win ammo is now pretty readily available and reasonably priced...………..at least for the time being.

This is from an American Hunter article...
The .375 Win. (left) was intended as a modern rendition on the old .38-55 Win. (right). A .38-55 cartridge will fit in a .375 chamber, however, its longer length makes it dangerous to shoot in a .375. The .375’s high pressure makes it dangerous to shoot in a rifle chambered in .38-55.
