[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1408555, member: 711"] The "ouch" is not a good assumption. My .375 kicks about like a good 12 ga load with 300 grain bullets. Has to do with the .375 being a nearly straight walled case. Lots of energy, but spread over a little longer time than energy generated by a bottleneck case. Try it. You'll like it. However, there are other factors. Weight of gun, stock geometry, etc., etc. You will probably have to have a chamber cast and the bore slugged on the other one to determine caliber, though you might take the stock off and see if the barrel is stamped on the underside. Wouldn't be likely, but worth looking. I had a rifle that had a used barrel put on it before I got it, and the barrel headspaced properly with the stamp down. Some great gunsmith forgot to restamp it where you could see it. CB [/QUOTE]
