  2. Jun 11, 2018 · A .38-55 cartridge will fit in a .375 chamber, however, its longer length makes it dangerous to shoot in a .375. The .375’s high pressure makes it dangerous to shoot in a rifle chambered in...

  3. Feb 16, 2024 · No, it is not possible to rechamber a .375 Winchester cartridge to fit a .38-55 rifle. These two cartridges have different dimensions, and attempting to modify them can result in dangerous consequences.

  4. Oct 25, 2016 · Seems they are pretty insistent that it is perfectly safe to shoot their .38-55 ammo from any rifle chambered for .375 Win. I'm particularly impressed that they claim considerably less pressure from their 250-grain load is generated by firing their .38-55 ammo, than by firing .375 Win. factory stuff loaded to the same velocity.

  5. Dec 24, 2011 · my understanding is you can run the 38-55 in the .375; but don't try the other way around (due to excessive pressure,), as the older 38-55 guns (20-28,000 CUP) were not built to withstand the .375 pressures (35-45,000 CUP).

  6. Jan 14, 2015 · Number 4 is probably a better idea than using .38-55 brass. The advantage of this approach is that you can use readily available .30-30 brass and the brass is designed for 42,000 psi .30-30 loads rather than .38-55 loads, so it's a little closer to .375 thickness.

  8. Jan 4, 2011 · Don't forget that .375 Winchester factory ammo is loaded to considerably higher pressure and should never be fired in a rifle chambered for the .38-55 Winchester.
