I have a box of Winchester 375's 250 grain factory. I'd sell for $100 plus $9 shipping.

According to Today's prices, I think your in line, with what I've seen! I tend to watch these, frequently, an I have noticed, that, Wards, Auction in Dallas Oregon, has a few boxes of 200 grain for sale now in their Current Auction, But no 250, grain! Look under Rifle and Pistol boxes. If you've never viewed this Auction site, you'll be amazed, and even surprised at what some, of the Collectable Boxes sell for, even empty, Shell boxes!
Like bsa, I stocked up, yrs. ago, and still have a lot left! At least enough to last my Lifetime!

Like bsa, I stocked up, yrs. ago, and still have a lot left! At least enough to last my Lifetime! I cringe when I think of that ammo costing so much now. It would be very hard for me to pay even half that price. I think the most I paid for it was $25.00/box.. Good thing I load for it too.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I do agree with you, as far as these prices go, but what can you do, except exactly what your doing! Enjoy what you bought at reasonable prices way back when, and load your own! Many are not as fortunate as you and I !

I have a 375 Win in a Winchester 94. I took that box in as a partial trade. I probably allowed to much for the ammo, but it is the only box I've seen with the 250 grain bullets.
I shoot mostly cast bullets in mine but have some 220 grain Hornady and 200 grain Sierra. I have wondered about using Speer 235 grain round nose bullets and Barnes 210 grain XFB bullets - but probably will never be desperate enough to try.

FYI, There's 3 boxes, 200 grain .375 Winchester ammo for sale@ $75.00 a box! On the WACA forum! You can go on as a guest! Reliable seller!
IMO! It's a fair price!

Everytime I see one of these threads i start kicking my ass for ever selling my 375 Winchester Reminds me of how I felt when I passed up muscle cars in the 60's (I did have a 65 Impala SS with a high output 396, but I was very very hard on it.) Then the 70's came along and all the car companies were putting out gas guzzling low HP POS's. I suppose the 235 grain rn semi-spitzer bullets are too hard for the 375 Win???. I have a couple boxes of them that I was saving for a bigger 375. In your opinion are they safe to use in a tubular magazine?

There's a reason, that the manufacturer's suggest the semi flat point for the tubular magazine, and I wouldn't, take a chance on having one slam against another, in the tube, possibly causing an accident. It's just not worth it to me! I have fired several hundred rounds over the yrs. with the .375, 200 gr. and 250 gr. Ammo, and never a problem. So, NO for Me!

I haven't looked at ammo prices in a long time! $86 to $87 a box and no stock on the shelves ,,,, Man! No wonder the guys are asking for $100 bucks.

I think $100 is too much also.

I would agree with you. But it is what it is, prices are what they are.

I have over 400 Hornaday 220gr heads and some Sierra 200 and about 160 loaded rounds so I'm set for hunting loads for quite a while. Thanks anyway. Tried to buy another Marlin from a guy who can't find any ammo and that may happen .

I did see a box of 250 grn. 375 Win on Joe Salters site yesterday, for $85.00 Bucks!
It seems like the 250 gr. are harder to come by!
I'm glad that your stocked up, as I am.
My Father in Law taught me years ago, darn near every time you go to a store, grab some ammo! Lol!

I buy up 220’s when I see them. I have some sierras but they are easier to find. I also have a box of Barnes, 250 grain I think. The Barnes cost about twice the sierras.

You .375 owners need to check out Hawk or Vollmer custom bullets. They are both very good. I alway have a box or two of them for my .375 and Vollmer also makes great .38-55 bullets in different diameters. Have a great day. Jim

+1 on the Hawk bullets. The 375 Win is a reloading cartridge. Straight walls are easy. When I had mine Re7 was the best powder. Brass can still be had and even 50 will last a long time. Like so many here, I lean towards oddball stuff and just figure on reloading. Currently bullets seem to be the hardest to acquire. I am down to my last box of Hornady for my 348 Win so Hawk will be my next choice.

I have one box of 250 grain Winchester factory ammo. Hate to shoot it though. I figure about $3.50 per pull of the trigger. By the time the rifle is sighted in...
