ITEM 375W-255
BUFFALO BORE’s 375 WINCHESTER AMMUNITION
For many years (today's date is 11-14-18), I’ve been asked to make a good full power load for the 375 Winchester. Until now, brass was very hard to come by, but Starline is now making high-quality 375 Winchester brass, so we are in.
The bullet we’ve chosen is a 255 grain JFN. We use this same bullet in our 38-55 ammo, but we use it sized to .377 inch diameter in the 38-55, instead of the .375 inch diameter bullet we are using in this 375 Winchester load. This is a tough bullet that will expand but still penetrate deeply enough for use on large critters like elk or interior grizzlies.
In my only remaining 375 Winchester carbine (I long ago sold the others because I was using our 38-55 ammo in my 38-55’s instead, which gives the very same ballistics as this new 375 Winchester load), this load averaged 1,994 fps, from my 20-inch barrel. My carbine is a Winchester 94 “Big Bore" see image below.
You can fire our 38-55 ammo in any/all 375 Winchester firearms, or you can now fire this new 375 Winchester load in your 375 Winchester chambered firearms. For more information on this subject, please read this…… Using Our 38-55 Ammo in 375 Winchester Chambered Rifles -- You should; however, NEVER fire our 375 Winchester ammo in any 38-55 chambered firearm!!!
This new 375 Winchester load operates well below the industry spec. of 52,000 CUP and, as mentioned, is safe to use in any/all 375 Winchester firearms in normal operating condition. This load mimics the original 250gr. 375 Winchester load at around 1950 fps, but we are using what I think is a better bullet.
Enjoy this new load, and God bless.

I am a user-and-believer of "all-things-Buffalo Bore" and your .375 Winchester ammunition, as used in my Win. 'Big Bore' 1894 carbine only reinforces my beliefs!
It's 255 gr. S.P. bullet and the velocity of this load really places this little carbine into the category of a very realistic black bear, deer, hog, cougar, and elk gun for a practical hunting range of about 175 yards, especially if one's carbine is equipped with a good aperture sight. or a low-power (2.5 - 3X) scope.
I also found that your 'heavy' .38-55 Win.
load and your newer .375 Win. load shoots to approximately the same point-of-impact,
in my carbine, at 100 yds. Another great load by Buffalo Bore Thanks!
