    My Nosler #4 only shows 375 H&H Magnum, No Weatherby.

    I believe Weatherby discontinued the 375 in the 60s when they introduced the 378. It is in fact a 375 H&H improved (shoulder blown out). I think if you begin with the H&H loads and work up you'll be ok. Brass can be made by fire forming 375 H&H cases or expanding the neck on 8mm (or necking down 416) Rem Mag cases.For what ever it is worth, I read something recently to make me believe that Weatherby is considering reintroducting either the caliber or ammunnition, I don't remember where. Good luck!

    edharold is right on. .375 H&H Improved with the venturi shoulder. Great caliber, but old Roy decided it didnt have enough horsepower so the .378 and .460 were born.Had an older Weatherby on the Schultz & Larsen action in .375 Wby, wish I'd never sold it.

    Thanks guys, weatherby does offer it this year in the dangerous game version, hopefully this will bring it back. Guess I'll do it the hard way, bought the chrony, load shoot, load shoot, untill I find something it likes, this thing took me 7 years and a good goldwing to get it back where it belongs, can't give up now.
