Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

I have a box of Winchester, 250 grain, priced for $16.90 that came with the rifle I bought years ago. I cast my own bullets and reload for my rifles so I haven't looked at prices for a long time.

The other plus to reloading 375 W is better performance. I have always considered the 375 W to be a hand loader proposition. Regarding Reed's Ammunition, I have always had good performance from Reed's products. T.S. NRA Endowment Member Firearms Accumulator Proud Trumpster!!

I use Starline Brass for 38-55, 375 Win, 45 Colt, and 44 Mag without any complaints. I like it better than Winchester. The last few orders of Winchester brass were pretty beat up, tints, bent mouths and such.

TexasShooter Campfire Regular Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,975 Fredericksburg,Texas	E. Arthur Brown - Eabco.com Offers reformed 30-30 brass to 375 Winchester dimensions for reloading. It is not fireformed. It is new 30-30 brass reformed mechanically to 375W. I have used this brass and re-used it for several loadings without any problems. Purists will point out that original 375W brass has a thicker web to withstand the higher pressures generated in the 375W. That's true. However, I have been using full loads with EABCO brass with no indications of pressure issues. T.S. Last edited by TexasShooter; 03/23/21. NRA Endowment Member Firearms Accumulator Proud Trumpster!!

Why do it otherwise? Don't bother with the fire-forming and case trimming. Just buy Starline .375 Winchester brass. A stainless 336 in .375 Winchester seems like an excellent idea.
