375 Whelen Improved?

[GuttormG]

Would you use standard.375 or use something like 38-55 size bullets
They are just a little different right?

.375"

As a matter of interest Bertram Bullets in Aust. make 375 Rugger cases but not 416 Ruger, they do however make 416WSM brass.

Bertram also makes .375 WSM cases... I just ordered a batch, so that I have proper headstamps when traveling. Although the past couple trips, seeing "WSM" on the rifle and on the brass was good enough, the difference between ".300" and ".375" seemed to go unnoticed. I'd rather not take a chance on running into a knowledgeable agent, as unlikely as that is.

That's exactly what I said in the first sentence. The "various" Whelen(s) are in the same boat as to ballistics.

And I was agreeing with you...

With my 358/338RUM cases I purchased a "5" metal stamp and punched the over the second 3 in 338. Once I had a Botswanan Customs/Police officer have a real good look at it. Apparently he was learning, his boss was not worried about it.
